(x2)
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
Ooh 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
You woke up screaming aloud a prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears and hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum and a know-it-all grin
Just when we need one when the evening's thin
Ooh 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
Chorus:
Oooh 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
You're building a mystery
