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
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 screaming 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 grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your razor wire shrine.
