lyrics

I'm not superstitious.
But I'm not spilling the salt.
No, I'm a man of science.
But we've all got our faults.
I don't believe in bad luck
but I'm not tempting fate.
I'm watching out for the sidewalk cracks
and I'm going out the doors where I came.
I'm not much of singer
but I can sure talk loud
and that don't stop me from chiming in when I don't know what I'm talking about.

I've read the Bible
and I've read the Quran.
But I don't think that my virtuous life is gonna lead me to the promised land.
I'm not much of a swinger.
I don't walk around any blocks.
Believe you me, my nose is clean and that ain't just idle talk.

I've been to Paris
and I've been to Des Moines.
Been spending money that my poppa don't have
just trying to see both sides of the coin.
I've crawled through deserts
down on my hands and my knees.
I hung my apron up upon an nail
I'm gonna do what I please.
I must be making money.
My palms been itchin' all day.
I'm keeping one ear to the ground in case something wicked's coming my way.
Something's coming my way.
Something's coming my way.
Something's coming today.
Something's coming my way.
Something's coming my way.
