A letra de Desire (Hollywood Remix):

In Hollywood tonight

Voodoo economics

In Hollywood tonight

Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood

Police dodge bricks and bottles

You can hear them crashing on the sidewalk

Officers beating and kicking a man on the street (Know what I mean)

We just trying to get it together to keep the police off our back man
The suspect reportedly pulled out a 25 calibre automatic handgun

And shot the victim in the shoulder

Shot the victim in the shoulder

Shot the victim in the shoulder

Shot the victim in the shoulder
Lover, I'm off the street

Gonna go where the bright lights

And the big city meet

With a red guitar...

On fire

Desire
She's a candle

Burning in my room

I'm like the needle

Needle and spoon

Over the counter

With a shotgun

Pretty soon

Everybody got one
And the fever

When I'm beside her

Desire, desire...

(Ooh yeah)
The fever

When I'm beside her

Desire, desire

Alright.. burning,

I'm burning-yeah
Desire

Hollywood

In Hollywood tonight

Hollywood

Voodoo economics

Golden opportunity, golden opportunity
Desire

In Hollywood tonight

Hollywood In Hollywood tonight

Holly,Hollywood Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood,

Hollywood In Hollywood tonight

Voodoo economics

In Hollywood tonight

Voodoo economics

In Hollywood tonight

Hollywood Hollywood
Burning feeling I'm on fire

And I'm burning baby

With desire

Oh I'm burning
She's the dollars

She's my protection

Yeah she's the promise

In the year of election

Oh sister, I can't let you go

Like a preacher stealing hearts

At a traveling show
For love or money, money

Money money, money money

Money, money

Money money money

And the fever, getting higher

Desire / Desire Desire / Oh Desire Desire / Oh Desire Desire / De-de-desire Alright
Oh! Desire
Desire / De-desire Desire / Oh burning up

Alright
Oh! Desire

I'm... burning up...
