Lyrics:
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 across 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
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 of charm
You're so careful
When I'm in your arms

'Cause you're workin',
Building a mystery
Holdin' on,
And holding it in
Yeah, you're workin',
Building a mystery
And choosing so
Carefully

You woke up screamin' 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 f***ed up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine

'Cause you're workin',
Building a mystery
Holding on,
And holding it in
Yeah, you're workin',
Building a mystery
And choosing so
Carefully

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh, you're workin',
Building a mystery
Holding on
And holding it in
Yeah, you're workin',
Building a mystery
And choosing so
Carefully
Yeah, you're workin',
Building a mystery
Holdin on
And holding it in
Oh, yeah, you're workin',
Building a mystery
And choosing so
Carefully

You're building a mystery
