lyrics

She believes that she can't talk to me on Tuesdays
'Cause her fortune teller tells her so
Not to mention the stars and the tarot cards
And the psychic on the radio
She believes that I can't take her out on Friday
Cause of something in her horoscope
She saw it in the tea leaves and it was on the 13th
And so she just had to say no

I said oh well there'll be another day and she said knock wood
I said it's really okay and she said knock wood
Then I took her to my place
And you should have see the fear on her superstitious face

When I said come on in under the ladder in the doorway
Thirteen steps will get you straight to the bed
Never mind my black cat
The one who walked across your path
He's just messing with your superstitious head
Your super superstitious head

She said you're crazy takin' chances like that
She said you're crazy don't you know what could happen
You're crazy takin' chances like that
She said you're crazy crazy

She believes I'm unlucky cause I broke a mirror
And the curse takes seven years to pass
And in my logical mind I'm thinking that's some hard time
For breaking a cheap piece of glass
She believes in the power of her prayers' protection
And she's hoping she can help me too
But I'm increasing my odds of pissing off all the gods
And then there's not much she can do

I smiled and said I'll keep my fingers crossed
And she said that's good maybe you're just a little lost
And I said knock wood and as I walked her to the door
I took the opportunity to freak her out some more

So I said watch your step under the ladder in the doorway
Thirteen floors down to the lobby I said
Never mind that full moon,
Never listen to the voice of doom
They're just messin' with your superstitous head
Your super duperstitous head

And she said you're crazy takin' chances like that
She said you're crazy don't you know what could happen
You're crazy takin' chances like that
She said you're crazy crazy
