It isn't just ambition
Or a question of career
It's a wonderful obsession
Like a passionate affair
I left you all alone
Every night and every day
Left to your own decision
While we threw our lives away
Subterranean desire
Goes round and round a ring of fire
Subterranean desire
Goes round and round a ring of fire
Don't ask me what I'm doing
Every night and every day
Better find yourself a lover
To pass the time away
It isn't what I wanted
But it happened anyway
I needed something special
And I know you're gonna stay
Subterranean desire
Goes round and round a ring of fire
Subterranean desire
Goes round and round a ring of fire
It isn't just ambition
Or a question of career
It's a wonderful obsession
Like a passionate affair
Don't ask me what I'm doing
Every night and every day
Better find yourself a lover
To pass the time away
