Building A Mystery - Live

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 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?
 You're so beautiful
 With an edge and 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
 But 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 so 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
 Ooh 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
 And choosing so carefully
 You're building a mystery
