I ain’t superstitious When a black cat crosses my path And I ain’t superstitious As I break the looking glass Ain’t afraid of no demons Don’t make me laugh! I ain’t superstitious Under the ladder I go And I ain’t superstitious It’s all bullshit, don’t you know! I ain’t afraid of no shadows I like the dark anyway And that’s a fact! Ha!
Superstitious, superstitious
And I ain’t superstitious No such thing as bad luck And I ain’t superstitious I couldn’t really give a fuck Take your stupid superstitions Find some other paranoidal Chickenshit, sissy, worm, and tell it to him
Superstitious, superstitious
I ain’t superstitious
And that’s a fact, one more time Come on, shut your mouth Listen up, hey it’s my turn
Ever since I was a young boy I’ve played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all But I ain’t seen nothing like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue Becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean Plays by intuition The digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball
He’s a pinball wizard There has to be a twist A pinball wizard He’s got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it? (I don’t know) What makes him so good?
Ain’t got no distractions Can’t hear no buzzers and bells See no lights a flashin’ Plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay Never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was The Bally table king But I just handed My pinball crown to him
Even on my favourite table He can beat my best His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest He’s got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball
The movie ran through me The glamour subdue me The tabloid untie me I’m empty please fill me Mister anchor assure me That Baghdad is burning Your voice it is so soothing That cunning mantra of killing I need you my witness To dress this up so bloodless To numb me and purge me now Of thoughts of blaming you Yes the car is our wheelchair My witness your coughing Oily silence mocks the legless Ones who travel now in coffins On the corner The jury’s sleepless We found your weakness And it’s right outside our door Now testify
Now testify It’s right outside our door Now testify Yes testify It’s right outside our door
With precision you feed me My witness I’m hungry Your temple it calms me So I can carry on My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones On a bed of fire I’m choking on the smoke that fills my home The wrecking ball rushing Witness your blushing The pipeline is gushing While here we lie in tombs While on the corner The jury’s sleepless We found your weakness And it’s right outside your door Now testify Yeah testify It’s right outside our door Now testify Now testify It’s right outside our door
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now controls the past Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now?
Now testify Testify It’s right outside our door Now testify Testify It’s right outside our door
You’re it No, you’re it Hey, you’re really it You’re it No I mean it, you’re it
Say it Don’t spray it Spirit desire (face me) Spirit desire (don’t displace me) Spirit desire We will fall
Miss me Don’t dismiss me
Spirit desire
Spirit desire Spirit desire Spirit desire We will fall Spirit desire We will fall Spirit desire Spirit desire Spirit desire We will fall Spirit desire We will fall
Everybody’s talking ’bout the stormy weather And what’s a man do to but work out whether it’s true? Looking for a man with a focus and a temper Who can open up a map and see between one and two
Time to get it Before you let it Get to you
Here he comes now Stick to your guns And let him through
Everybody’s coming from the winter vacation Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you
You come running in on platform shoes With Marshall stacks To at least just give us a clue
Ah, here it comes I know it’s someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you
Now I see it I think I’ll leave it out of the way Now I come near you And it’s not clear why you make the way
Looking for a ride to your secret location Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that’s rockin’ And a cord and a pedal and a lock, that’ll do me for now
It better work out I hope it works out my way ‘Cause it’s getting kind of quiet in my city’s head Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now
You better look it We’re gonna shake it Up to him
He acts the hero We paint a zero On his hand
We know it’s down We know it’s bound too loose Everybody’s sound is round it Everybody wants to be proud to choose So who’s to take the blame for the stormy weather You’re never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze
It’s time to go round A one man showdown Teach us how to fail
We’re off the streets now And back on the road On the riot trail

Mums the word about philosophy She sits in bed with a dictionary Unprepared for the judiciary She’s not a product of the monastery And now I find out she’s in love with me She wants to know me better personally She won’t shut up about her ministry We used to chat about the lottery She’s covered in flaws She’s not the supreme girl that I thought she was She’s not the supreme girl that I thought she was She’s not the supreme girl that I thought she was She’s not the supreme girl that I thought she was She’s not the supreme, she’s not the supreme girl She’s not the supreme, she’s not the supreme girl
