Brian David Gilbert - I’m not superstitious but i am afraid to prune my money tree lyrics

I’m not superstitious
But I am afraid to prune
My money tree
It’s just that it’s the only plant
I’ve ever had that’s seemed
To actually grow healthily
And though I know wealth is not
Affected by a plant on my shelf
If I take my chances
And my finances
Coincidentally fail while
My money tree dies
Right before my eyes
Then my mind will
Think those things
Coincided causally
But my tree needs pruning
Or else it’ll grow too wild
And if I do it right
Then I could propagate it
So why’ve I waited
To prune this tree?

"Maybe
I shouldn't have done that"
