I say a little prayer
How the gods above
Could be so unfair
Chorus:
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
(chorus, repeat)
I should be glad that I"m alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth
How the gods above
Could be so unfair
(chorus, repeat)
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 of 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 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 the lake
Up into the hills
I ran and I ran
I"m looking there still And I saw the crumbling tombstones
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
The 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
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 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 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 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
Do I know you from somewhere?
Why do you leave me wanting more?
Why all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before
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 any more
I"m gonna carry this train off the track
Gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm, crash to the other shore
Mmmm, 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 all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sins
Crash to the other shore
I can"t carry these sins on my back
Don"t wanna carry any more
I"m gonna carry this train off the track
Gonna swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm, crash to the other shore
Mmmm, swim to the ocean floor
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 their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I"ll follow my heart
That"s a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as the 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 their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I"ll follow my heart
That"s a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as the 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
Do ya wanna go higher?
Chorus:
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
Chorus2:
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……………..
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
Verse:
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
Chorus:
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
(chorus)
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
(verse)
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years
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
Здравейте всички фенове на Мадона.По случай 10 годишнината от излизането на повече от емблематичният за Мадж албум Ray of light реших да си припомним всички текстове на песните от албума .Защо да не си спретнем едно ретро караоке парти с най-добрите песни за 90-те . Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Клипът на Drowned world е дело на Уолтър Стърн и е заснет в прочутият хотел Савой.Някои моменти от клипа, в които Мадона е преследвана от папараци стават повод за конфронтации като певицата е обвинена че използва трагедията на загиналата през 1997 год. в нелепа автомобилна катастрофа принцеса Даяна.
Песента не постига комерсиалният успех на предните два проекта на певицата, но влиза в топ 10 като в Испания достига до номер 1. Substitute for love остава една от най-силните балади на Мадона и моя любима.
