Secondhand Escape

Shelves filled with old dusty pages
Abandoned by someone, a fortune for someone else

Windows stained with autumn rain
That humble hideaway is everything you need
When you are young, naive and young

Imagination
Visions out of this world
Amazing tales
Through the secondhand escape

Shelves filled with rental adventures
The best will take us two hours away from here

I saw Snake fighting the Eagle Claw
Not the first time I related to an underdog
When I was young, naive and young

Desperation
Running away from the world
With amazing tales
Through the secondhand escape

A lone crusader in a dangerous world
(Distraction is all we need)
An army knife guy from the Foundation
(Distraction is all we need)
The man and the machine, once a week on the screen
Too much real world in between

Imagination
Visions out of this world
Amazing tales
Desperation
Running away
With amazing tales
Through the secondhand escape
