Lyrics

[00:15.00] You come out at night
[00:18.00] That's when the energy comes
[00:20.00] And the dark side's light
[00:23.00] And the vampires roam
[00:27.00] You strut your rasta wear
[00:29.00] And your suicide poem
[00:32.00] And a cross from a faith that died
[00:35.00] Before Jesus came
[00:41.00] You're building a mystery
[00:50.00] You live in a church
[00:53.00] Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
[00:56.00] And you won't give up the search
[00:59.00] For the ghosts in the halls
[01:02.00] You wear sandals in the snow
[01:05.00] And a smile that won't wash away
[01:08.00] Can you look out the window
[01:10.00] Without your shadow getting in the way?
[01:15.00] You're so beautiful
[01:17.00] With an edge and charm
[01:20.00] But so careful
[01:22.00] When I'm in your arms
[01:26.00] 'Cuz you're working
[01:29.00] Building a mystery
[01:33.00] Holding on
[01:35.00] And holding it in
[01:38.00] Yeah you're working
[01:41.00] Building a mystery
[01:44.00] And choosing so carefully
[01:53.00][01:47.00] You woke up screaming aloud
[01:57.00] A prayer from your secret god
[02:00.00] You feed off our fears
[02:03.00] And hold back your tears, oh
[02:06.00] Give us a tantrum
[02:08.00] And a know-it-all grin
[02:12.00] Just when we need one
[02:14.00] When the evening's thin
[02:18.00] You're a beautiful
[02:21.00] A beautiful fucked up man
[02:24.00] You're setting up your
[02:26.00] Razor wire shrine
[02:30.00] 'Cuz you're working
[02:32.00] Building a mystery
[02:36.00] Holding on
[02:39.00] And holding it in
[02:42.00] Yeah you're working
[02:44.00] Building a mystery
[02:48.00] And choosing so carefully
[03:11.00] Ooh you're working
[03:14.00] Building a mystery
[03:18.00] Holding on
[03:21.00] And holding it in
[03:23.00] Yeah you're working
[03:26.00] Building a mystery
[03:29.00] And choosing so carefully
[03:35.00] Yeah you're working
[03:38.00] Building a mystery
[03:41.00] Holding on
[03:44.00] And holding it in
[03:47.00] Yeah you're working
[03:49.00] Building a mystery
[03:53.00] And choosing so carefully
[04:01.00] You're building a mystery
