Lyrics

Ver y su per sti tious,

writ ing’s on the wall.

Ver y su per sti tious,

The lad der’s ’bout to fall.

Keep me in a day dream,

keep me go in’ strong.

You don’t wan na save me.

The Sad things is my song.

When you be lieve in things that you don’t un der stand, then you suf fer.

(CN.C.)Su per sti tion ain’t the way.

Ooh, ver y su per sti tious,

wash your face and hands.

Rid me of the prob lems,

The do all that you can.

Thir teen month old ba by

broke the look ing glass.

Sev en years of bad luck.

The good things in your past.

When you be lieve in things that you don’t un der stand, then you suf fer.

(CN.C.)Su per sti tion ain’t the way.

Ooh, ver y su per sti

Ver y su per sti Su per sti tion ain’t the way.
