美國盲人天才歌手［史提夫汪達］──美國單曲榜冠軍──靈魂放克經典──［Superstition／迷信］

 

 

Very superstitious, writings 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 dont understand,

Then we suffer,

Superstition aint the way.

 

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,

Rid me of the problems, do all that you can,

Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin strong,

You dont want to save me, sad is my song.

 

When you believe in things you dont understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition aint the way, yeh, yeh.

 

Very superstitious, nothin more to say,

Very superstitious, the devils 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 dont understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition aint the way, no, no, no.
