Intro: , , ,  (x2)

                                                
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 gie up the search for the ghosts in the halls
                                                                            
You wear your sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away
                                                                               
Can you look out the window withour your shadow gettin in the way
                               
Oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm
                                
But so careful when im in your arms
                                          
'Cause you're working, building a mystery
                              
Holding on and holding it in
                                                                                
Yeah you're working, building a mystery and and choosing so carefully
                                                                  
You woke up screaming aloud a prayer from your secret god
                                                         
and you feed off our fears and hold back your tears
                                           
Give us a tantrum and through it all grin
                                                     
just when we need one when the evenings thin
                              
Oh you're a 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
                                       
Yeah you're working, building a mystery
