Lyrics

[00:13.500] you come out at night
[00:16.700] that's when the energy comes
[00:19.200] and the dark side's light
[00:21.500] and the vampires roam
[00:25.500] you strut your rasta wear
[00:27.500] and your suicide poem
[00:30.500] and a cross from a faith that died
[00:34.500] before jesus came
[00:39.500] you're building a mystery
[00:43.000]
[00:48.500] you live in a church
[00:52.100] where you sleep with voodoo dolls
[00:54.500] and you won't give up the search
[00:57.500] for the ghosts in the halls
[01:01.300] you wear sandals in the snow
[01:03.500] and a smile that won't wash away
[01:07.200] can you look out the window
[01:09.500] without your shadow getting in the way?
[01:13.500] you're so beautiful
[01:16.500] with an edge and charm
[01:18.850] but so careful
[01:20.800] when i'm in your arms
[01:25.500] 'cuz you're working
[01:27.500] building a mystery
[01:31.500] holding on and holding it in
[01:36.500] yeah you're working
[01:39.500] building a mystery
[01:43.200] and choosing so carefully
[01:49.300]
[01:51.500] you woke up screaming aloud
[01:55.500] a prayer from your secret god
[01:58.300] you feed off our fears
[02:01.200] and hold back your tears, oh
[02:04.500] you give us a tantrum
[02:06.800] and a know-it-all grin
[02:09.900] just when we need one
[02:12.500] when the evening's thin
[02:16.500] you're a beautiful
[02:19.500] a beautiful fucked up man
[02:22.500] you're setting up your razor wire shrine
[02:28.500] 'cuz you're working
[02:31.200] building a mystery
[02:35.400] holding on and holding it in
[02:40.500] yeah you're working
[02:42.500] building a mystery
[02:46.500] and choosing so carefully
[02:52.500]
[03:09.300] ooh you're working
[03:12.500] building a mystery
[03:16.400] holding on and holding it in
[03:22.200] yeah you're working
[03:24.300] building a mystery
[03:27.700] and choosing so carefully
[03:33.700] yeah you're working
[03:36.500] building a mystery
[03:40.500] holding on and holding it in

[03:51.500] and choosing so carefully
