you come out at night
that´s when the energy comes
and the dark side´s light
and the vempires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and you 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 sreaming 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 again
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
