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 
 
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 

'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 

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
