Building A Mystery Lyrics & Video

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

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

Oh you're a beautiful

a beautiful fucked up man

you're setting up your

razor wire shrine

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS
