Lyrics: Drowned World / Substitute For Love

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
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

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

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I find my self in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy

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
Mmmmmmmmm
Ooooooooooooo

No famous places,
Far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger
Heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel,
No hart to steel
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand,
No far off land
No fire that I can spark
Mmmmmmmm.........

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
Substitute for love
My substitute for love

Now, I find, I’ve changed

My mind
This is my religion.
