Building A Mystery (Live On Radio 2) lyrics

You come out at night, that's when the energy comes
And the dark sides 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, oh

You live in a 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 a charm
But so careful
When I'm in your arms

'Cause you're working, building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Oh yeah, you're working, building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up, screaming aloud, a prayer from your secret god
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, oh

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
Oh yeah, you're working, building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Oooh, you're working, building a mystery
Say you're 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, oh

You're building a mystery
