Drowned World/Substitute For Love
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
I 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
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
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
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
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
The face of you.. my substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Should I wait for you.. my substitute for love
My substitute for love
Now.. I find.. I've changed.. my life
This is my religion

Swim
Put your head on my shoulder baby
Things can't get any worse
Night is getting colder sometimes
Life feels like it's a curse
I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry anymore
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm.. crash to the other shore
Mmmmmm.. swim to the ocean floor
Children killing children while the...
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
While the churches burn their preachers
We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry anymore
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm.. crash to the other shore
Mmmm.. swim to the ocean floor
Let the water wash over you
Wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sin
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmmm
I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry anymore
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm.. crash to the other shore
Mmmm.. swim to the ocean floor
We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry anymore
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmmmmm
Ooooo

Ray Of Light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel.. like I just got home.. And I feel
And I feel.. like I just got home.. And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when earth shall be as one
And I feel.. like I just got home.. And I feel
And I feel.. like I just got home.. And I feel
Quicker than a Ray of Light
Quicker than a Ray of Light
Quicker than a Ray of Light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel
Quicker than a Ray of Light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Thru the endless sphere
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel.. like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a Ray of Light she's flying
Quicker than a Ray of Light I'm flying

Skin
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said
before?
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Kiss me I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said
Before
Touch me I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a connection
I'm not like this all the time
I've got this thing
You've got this thing
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said
Before
Kiss me I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes
I close your eyes
Kiss me
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said
Before
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said
Before
Kiss me I'm dying
Touch me I'm trying
Ohhhhh
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Touch me I'm trying ohhhh
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin

Nothing Really Matters
When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

Sky Fits Heaven
Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling traveling
Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling traveling
Watching the signs as I go

English Translation
I worship the gurus' lotus feet
Awakening the happiness of the self revealed
Beyond comparison, working like the jungle physician
To pacify loss of consciousness from the poison of existence
In the form of a man up to the shoulders
Holding a conch, discus and sword
Thousand headed, white
I bow respectfully
Peace

Frozen
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen.. when your hearts no open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken.. when your heart's not open
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. If I could melt your heart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. We'd never be apart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. Give yourself to me
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. You.. hold.. the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd suffer the same
If I loose you.. my heart will be broken
Love is a bird.. she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside you die
You're frozen.. when your heart's not open
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. If I could melt your heart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. We'd never be apart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. Give yourself to me
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. You.. hold.. the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen.. when your heart's not open
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. If I could melt your heart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. We'd never be apart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. Give yourself to me
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. You.. hold.. the key
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. If I could melt your heart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. We'd never be apart
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. Give yourself to me
Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.. You.. hold.. the key
If I could melt your heart

The Power Of Good-Bye
Your heart is not open
So I must go
The spell has been broken
I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson
I had to learn
I was your fortress
You had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
I wanna go higher
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
Your heart is not open
So I must go
The spell has been broken
I loved you so
You were my lesson
I had to learn
I was your fortress
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye
There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye

To Have And Not To Hold
To have and not to hold
So hot yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh but to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth
To a flame
Only I
Am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I've been told
You're to have.. not to hold
To look
But not to see
To kiss
But never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all to break my fall
Like a moth
To a flame
Only I
Am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I've been told
You're to have.. not to hold
You're to have.. not to hold
You're to have..
Not to hold
Like a moth
To a flame
Only I
Am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba.. I've been told
You're to have.. not to hold
You're to have.. not to hold
You're to have.. not to hold
You're to have..
Not to hold

Never forget how to dream

Flying higher than all the birds in the sky
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget where you come from
From love

Mer Girl
I ran from my house
That cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
From my mother who haunts me
Even though she's gone
From my daughter that never sleeps
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops
I ran to the sky
Out to the lake
Into the rain
That matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears.. hid my fears
I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me
I ran past the churches
And the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards
And the lady that never talks
Up into the hills
I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath
And thought about your death
I ran to a lake
Up into the hills
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
All the forgotten names
I tasted the rain
I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels
I tasted my fears
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up
Blinding me
I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes
And up to the hill
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still
And I smelt her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away

Has To Be
Breathe in.. breathe out
I say a little prayer
How the Gods above
Could be so unfair
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
Go on.. go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I should be glad.. that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved.. at all
And never know what I am worth
How could all the Gods above be so unfair
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
