Building a Mystery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Pre-Chorus] You're so beautiful With an edge and a charm But so careful When I'm in your arms [Chorus] 'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah, you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] You're a beautiful A beautiful fucked up man You're setting up your Razor wire shrine [Chorus] 'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah, you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Ooh, you're working 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 Oh yeah, you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully [Outro] You're building a mystery
