Mother's girl has fallen in love

And dad has already told her he has heard enough

He has taken sides of his wife

And he tells is little petal she's too young for life

So she goes to her room and shut the world outside

Lays down to sink into her private mind, her other life inside

She sings



Secondhand rocking horse

Let me ride high on you

To a secondhand wonderland

Secondhand lover boy

Let me meet up with you

In a secondhand wonderland



Husband's drunk once again

And he rages round the room sign of her real man

She is numb from her pain

But she's too afraid to leave she just hides it in so deep within

Cries herself to sleep another lonely night, but in her dreams she sings



Secondhand rocking horse

Let me ride away with you

To a secondhand wonderland

Secondhand wedding day

Let my virgin dance again

In our secondhand wonderland



This hour I feel insecure

Got a bag of plastic worries from the grocery store

Wild dogs stand prepared to savage at my flesh if I appear too scared

So I walk the tightrope line without a safety net

As the rope begins to fray I buy another set,

From a secondhand rope store

I sing



Secondhand rocking horse

Let me ride away with you

To a secondhand wonderland

Secondhand wooden horse

Take me far away with you

To a secondhand wonderland
