Bm G D A You come out at night that's when the energy comes
Bm G D A And the dark side's light and the vampires roam
Bm G D A You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
Bm G D A E And a cross from a faith that died before jesus came
G A You're building a mystery

Bm G D A
Bm G D A You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Bm G D A And you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the halls
Bm G D A You wear your sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away
Bm G D A Can you look out the window withour your shadow gettin in the way
E G Oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm
E G A But so careful when I'm in your arms
Bm G D A 'Cause you're working, building a mystery
Bm G D A Holding on and holding it in
Bm G D A Bm G D A Yeah you're working, building a mystery and and choosing so carefully
Bm G D A You woke up screaming aloud a prayer from your secret god
Bm G D A and you feed off our fears and hold back your tears
Bm G D A Give us a tantrum and through it all grin
Bm G D A just when we need one when the evenings thin
E G Oh you're a beautiful, a beautiful fucked up man
E G You're setting up your razor wire shrine
Bm G D A Cause you're working, building a mystery
Bm G Holding on and holding it in
Bm G D A Bm G D A Yeah you're working, building a mystery and choosing so carefully
Bm G D Yeah you're working, building a mystery
