Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Very superstitious
  • Writing's on the wall
  • Very superstitious
  • Ladder's 'bout to fall

Echo the hook

  • When you believe in things
  • That you don't understand
  • Then you suffer
  • Superstition ain't the way, yeah
superstitiousthingsdon't
