you come out at night
thats when the energy comes
and the dark sides light
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith that died
before jesus came
youre building a mystery
you live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you wont give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that wont wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way?
youre so beautiful
with an edge and charm
but so careful
when im in your arms
cuz youre working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
yeah youre working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
[01:47
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears, oh
give us a tantrum
and a know-it-all grin
just when we need one
when the evenings thin
youre a beautiful
a beautiful ****ed up man
youre setting up your
razor wire shrine
cuz youre working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
yeah youre working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
ooh youre working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
yeah youre working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
yeah youre working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
yeah youre working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
youre building a mystery
