Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Without your shadow getting in the way
'Cause you're working
A smile that won't wash away

Yeah you're working
You're so beautiful
Razor wire shrine
Holding on and holding it in
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Can you look at the window
Just when we need one
And a cross from a faith
For the ghosts in the halls
Building a mystery
Struts your rasta wear
Oh yeah you're working
You're so careful
Yeah you're working
Holding on, holding it in
And you won't give up the search
With an edge and a charm
And choosing so carefully
That died before Jesus came
Holding on, holding it in
You live in a church

You're building a mystery
You're setting up your
Oh yeah, you're working
And a know-it-all grin
Ooh you're working
Oh you give us a tantrum

Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
'Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Oh you're so beautiful

And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
You're building a mystery

Building a mystery
And your suicide poem
Wear sandals in snow and
When the evening's thin
Yeah you're working
And the vampires roam
(Ooh)
To feed off our fears
And the dark side's light
When I'm in your arms
A prayer from your secret God
And choosing so carefully
Building a mystery
And hold back your tears
Building a mystery
You're building a mystery
A beautiful fucked up man
