Lyrics Without Desire - The Wood Brothers

I can't live without desire
I can't live without desire
It's the fuel in my fire
I can't live without desire

I can't live without desire
I can't live without desire
It's the electricity in my wire
I can't live without desire

If I didn't want anything
Why would I rise?
Why would I sing?
And if I didn't want you
Would I be alone?
If i didn't want shelter
Would I have a home?
And if I didn't want peace
Would I cast the first stone?

I can't live without desire
I can't live without desire
It's the air in my tire
I can't live without desire

If I didn't want anything
Why would I rise?
Why would I sing?

If I didn't want money
Would I work all day?
If I didn't wanna do right
Would I go astray?
If I didn't want love
Would I fade away?

I can't live without desire
I can't live without desire
It's the electricity in my wire
I can't live without desire

If I didn't want anything
Why would I rise?
Why would I sing?
