You come out at night  that's when the energy comes And the dark side's light and the vampires ro..am 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 your sandals in the snow and   A smile that won't wash away Can you look out the window Without your shadow gettin in the way You're so beautiful with an edge and a charm So careful when I'm in you're 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 And you feed off our fears and hold back your tears Give us a tantrum and through it all grin just when we need one when the evenings 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               Yeah you're working, building a mystery       Holding on  and holding it in Yeah you're working, building a mystery     Building a mystery
