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
