I'll take my hope where I can find it Seems I find it here in you Hang your curtain get behind it I won't even ask for proof Go ahead and read my fortune Cast your dice devine my fate I just want to know I have one Tell me that it's not too late for CHORUS A little second hand faith A line upon my palm that I can just erase 'Cause I need to believe in a hierarchic grace I can do without a book I'll never read Second hand faith is all I need I will pay you for your trouble I will pay you for your Time Steal my wallet charge me double All I've come for is a sign Is there someone who can help me Up above the clouds I see Sitting in a Chinese restaurant Someone comes to offer me CHORUS 'Cause this feeling of forgiveness means much more to me Than that paper on the wall that cost you all of ten bucks If an ancient word, a heathen spell can salvage me I will believe in miracles 'cause it would take a saint to set me free And if my luck don't last too long Or if my life gets worse I'll be back for another song A blessing or a curse And I'll never ask for refunds 'Cause I know you're not to blame Take more blood more hair more money I'll do anything to claim CHORUS What somebody threw away May just get me through the day I can do without a book I'll never read Second hand faith is all I need Second hand faith is all I need
