superstitious

 
when I get it right 
I'll be illegal 
when I get it straight 
I'll cakewalk 
right into heaven 
but sometimes here below 
I walk under ladders
don't carry a gun 
don't throw salt over my shoulder 
don't carry no cross
don't cross my fingers 
don't cross my friends 
gonna cross that bridge 
when I get there 
see you on the other side

- Ken Peters
