Drowned World Substitute For Love Lyrics

Drowned World Substitute For Love lyrics

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
