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 across 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 edge and a charm
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
Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
Just when we need one when the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your razor wire shrine
Chorus
Ooooh 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
