Surfacing
BUILDING A MYSTERY
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
Oh, you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm
But so careful when I'm in your arms
1-'Cause you're working, building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in, yeah
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
Oh you're a beautiful a beautiful fu... up man
You're setting up your razor wire shrine
(repeat 1, 1...)
