You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You stretch your **
To every 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 arms
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile will wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way
You're so beautiful
Isn't it charming
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 loud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears
Oh give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when the need walks
When the evening fades
You're beautiful
A beautiful screwed up man
Standing up you're crazy wild child
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 working
Building a mystery
Holding on on holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on holding in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
I'm choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery
