You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret God
But you feed off our fears
And hold back your tears
You give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
Building A Mystery
And inside the 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?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm and
Oh 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 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 so beautiful
A beautiful messed 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
