"Drowned world(Substitute for love)" (Ray Of Light, 1998)
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
