You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark sides 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 ghost in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
When a smile 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, and
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 Messed 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
Ooo , you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're Building a mystery
