You come out at night
That's when the
energy comes
and the dark side's 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
You're building
a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep
with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up
the search
For the ghosts
in the halls
You wear sandals
in the snow
and a smile that
won't wash away
Can you look
out the window
without your shadow
getting in the way
You're so beautiful
with an ancient charm
you're so careful
when I'm in your arms
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
Holding on
and holding in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
And choosing so
carefully
You woke up
screaming aloud
A prayer from
your secret God
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears
You give us a tantrum
and I know it all grin
Just when we need one
when the evening's thin
You're beautiful
a beautiful f***** up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
Holding on
and holding in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
And choosing so
carefully
Ooh you're working
building a mystery
Holding on
and holding in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
And choosing so
carefully
Yeah you're working
building a mystery
Holding on
and holding in
oh yeah you're working
building a mystery
And choosing so
carefully
You're building
a mystery
