Verse one
Wind is the friend of fire, blows to make it go higher
Fire is born from spark, spark comes from rubbing hard
Hard as the day is long, only be so strong
Wind is the friend of fire, keeps it burning, yea it keeps us yearning
Chorus one
D E S I R E
It can take you down or it can set you free
Verse two
Water won’t bring relief, only make it wet
It’s not that it never be, it just hasn’t happened yet
And sleep is the enemy, along with all that we forget
But it’s that loss of memory, that keeps it burning, yea it keeps us yearning
Chorus two
D E S I R E
It can take you down or it can set you free
Bridge
Verse three
And life isn’t black or white, mostly it seems red
Like the flames that burn inside, my heart and my loins and me head
And all our colors bleed, become another thing
Everything that we need, that keeps it burning and keeps up yearning
Chorus out
D E S I R E
It can chain you down or it can set you free
D E S I R E
Like an L O V E I-V, a-pumping deep inside of me
Burn on desire
Burn, burn on desire
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
It can chain you down
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
Set you you free
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
Like an L O V E I-V, pumping deep inside of me
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
Heh, chain you down
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
It can set you free
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
Like an L O V E I-V, pumping deep inside of me
D E S I R E, D E S I R E
