you come out at night
thats 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
youre building a mystery

you live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you wont give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that wont wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh youre so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when Im in your arms

[Chorus:]
cause youre working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah youre 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

give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evenings thin

oh youre a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
youre setting up your
razor wire shrine

[Chorus]

[Repeat chorus] Las
