Break your momma's back

Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
Dang, how deranged can we be
 
Throwing salt over my shoulder  
Where's the pepper to throw
After all salt and pepper are a pair
 
Don't break that mirror  
7-years of bad luck  
Is a lot to bear
 
Black cat crossing your path
Better hone up
On that witchcraft stuff
 
Walking under a ladder
Makes for long prayer vigiles
To close the triangle
 
Not being superstitious
Hard to fathom the process
Internalizing the nature
 
Superstitions today
Seems useless and nonsensical  
Oh dear, think I better pray
