I traded fame for love
without a second thought
it all became a silly game
some things cannot be bought
got xactly 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
I've changed my mind

Chorus
The face of you, my substitute for love
substitute for love
Should I wait for you my substitute for love
substitute for love

Travelled 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

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
No famous places, far off places, trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
laughter in the dark
no one night stand, no far off land
no fire that I can spark
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

Chorus

Now I find I've changed my life
This is my religion
