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 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
You 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

Cause you’re working building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Ooh 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

You're building a mystery
