You come out in night That's when the energy comes And the dark side's light And the vampires roam Struts 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 Wear sandals in snow and A smile that won't wash away Can you look at the window Without your shadow getting in the way
(Ooh) You're so beautiful With an edge and a charm You're so careful When I'm in your arms
'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on, 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 To 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, holding it in Oh yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working You're building a mystery 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 You're building a mystery
