Written By: U2 / Bono Performed By: U2

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...
