Lyrics

[00:12.54] You come out at night
[00:16.17] That's when the energy comes
[00:18.87] And the dark side's light
[00:21.43] And the vampires roam
[00:23.35]
[00:25.50] You strut your rasta wear
[00:27.57] And your suicide poem
[00:29.16]
[00:30.36] And a cross from a faith that died
[00:34.04] Before Jesus came
[00:39.54] You're building a mystery
[00:43.61]
[00:48.54] You live in a church
[00:51.39] Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
[00:54.27] And you won't give up the search
[00:57.06] For the ghosts in the halls
[01:00.77] You wear sandals in the snow
[01:03.22] And a smile that won't wash away
[01:06.79] Can you look out the window
[01:08.91] Without your shadow getting in the way?
[01:12.89] You're so beautiful
[01:16.12] With an edge and charm
[01:18.54] but so careful
[01:20.60] When I'm in your arms
[01:24.79] Cause you're working
[01:26.99] Building a mystery
[01:30.69] Holding on and holding it in
[01:36.70] Yeah you're working
[01:39.28] Building a mystery
[01:42.53] And choosing so carefully
[01:51.47] You woke up screaming aloud
[01:54.90]
[01:55.59] A prayer from your secret god
[01:57.98] You feed off our fears
[02:00.78] And hold back your tears, oh
[02:03.86] Give us a tantrum
[02:06.64] And a know it all grin
[02:09.85] Just when we need one
[02:12.10] When the evening's thin
[02:16.61] You're a beautiful
[02:19.48] A beautiful fucked up man
[02:22.36] You're setting up your
[02:24.27] Razor wire shrine
[02:28.80] Cause you're working
[02:30.59] Building a mystery
[02:35.00] Holding on and holding it in
[02:40.24] Yeah you're working
[02:42.42] Building a mystery
[02:46.20] And choosing so carefully
[02:55.47] Ooh you're working
[03:11.96] Building a mystery
[03:15.75] Holding on and holding it in
[03:21.57] Yeah you're working
[03:23.93] Building a mystery
[03:27.62] And choosing so carefully
[03:33.77] Yeah you're working
[03:35.33] Building a mystery
[03:40.03] Holding on and holding it in
[03:45.58] Yeah you're working
[03:47.20] Building a mystery
[03:51.30] And choosing so carefully
[03:59.44] You're building a mystery
