1. .
Very superstitious, writing’s on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout’ to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
You don’t wanna save me, sad is my song.

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin’ more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil’s on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, no, no, no

3. I know, I know

Oddly enough, I'm an atheist too.

But I'm also a New Yorker with mild neurosis. Which is to say, I'm a New Yorker.

Edit: Thanks for the link, though. Interesting stuff.

5. My personal superstition
If I spontaneously hear a David Bowie song in the morning (as opposed to purposefully putting on a CD), it will be a good day.

Of course this superstition only worked when I still listened to the radio. Now I either listen to a CD or NPR, which rarely plays Bowie :-).
