You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the 1 side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your 2 poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You 3 in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the 4 in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile 5 won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without 6 shadow getting in the way?

You're so beautiful
With an 7 and charm
And so careful
When I'm in your arms

Cause you're 8
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And 9 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
