Drowned World, Substitute For Love

1. I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Somethings cannot be bought.

I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly.

And now I find
I've changed my mind.

[Chorus:]
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love.

2. I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone.

I had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happy.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmm
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark.
Mmmmm, mmmmm

[Chorus]

* Now I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion.
