Drowned World (Substitute For Love) Songtext / Lyric

(You see)



I traded fame for love without a second thought

It all became a silly 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



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






Traveled 'round the world

Looking for a home

I found myself in crowded rooms

Feeling so alone

I had so many lovers

Who've settled for the thrill

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



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



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



(You see)



And now I find

I've changed my mind



This is my religion
