Building A Mystery Lyrics

You come out at night, that's 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 

You're building a mystery, oh 

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 edge and a charm 
But so careful 
When I'm in your arms 

'Cause you're working, building a mystery 
Holding on and holding it in 
Oh 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, oh 
You give us a tantrum and a know-it-all grin 
Just when we need one, when the evening's thin, oh 

You're so beautiful 
A beautiful fucked up man 
You're setting up your 
Razor wire shrine 

'Cause you're working, building a mystery 
Holding on and holding it in 
Oh yeah, you're working, building a mystery 
And choosing so carefully 

Oooh, you're working, building a mystery 
Say you're holding on and holding it in 
Yeah, you're working, building a mystery 
And choosing so carefully 

Yeah, you're working, building a mystery 
Holding on and holding it in 
Yeah, you're working, building a mystery 
And choosing so carefully, oh 

You're building a mystery
