|
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 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 |
|
oh you're so beautiful |
|
with an edge and a charm |
|
but so careful |
|
when I'm in your arms |
|
[chorus] |
|
'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 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 evening's thin |
|
oh you're a beautiful |
|
a beautiful fucked up man |
|
you're setting up your |
|
razor wire shrine |
|
[chorus] |
