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
