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    [chorus]  '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    oh you're a beautiful  a beautiful fucked up man  you're setting up your   razor wire shrine     [chorus]    [repeat chorus]
