Verse 1
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark sides light
And the vampires roam
You stretch your Astor wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
(Verse 2)
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghost in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
When a smile won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way
(Pre-chorus)
You're so beautiful
With an edge and a charmin
You're so Careful when I'm in your arms
(chorus)
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so.... carefully
(verse 3)
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god to
feed off of 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 stayed
(pre-chorus)
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked-up man
You're setting up you're
razor, wire sharp
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
(Lead).
Ouh, you're working
Building a mystery..............
....... Holding on
Holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Oh Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're Building a mystery.
