Drowned World/Substitute For Love

I just thought it worthwhile to mention that I think this is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's on Madonna's Ray of Light cd, number one, and the more I listen to it, the more it makes absolute sense. Cause that's kinda what I'm going through right now. It just makes so much perfect sense it's really scary.

Drowned World/Substitute For Love by Madonna

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:

No 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
