Drowned World/Substitute For Love           
             
I traded fame for love 
Without a second thought 
It all became a silly a game 
Some things 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 

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) 

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
