You come out at night
That`s when the energy comes
and the dark side`s light
and the vampires roam
You strut your astor 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
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
Oh you`re a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
You`re setting up your
razor wire shrine
Cause you`re working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
Yeah you`re working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

Woo 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
Yeah you`re working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
The building a mystery
