Building a Mystery

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.

'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

You 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.

'Cause you're working,
Building a mystery,
Holding on and holding it in.
Yeah, you're working,
Building a mystery,
And choosing so carefully.

'Cause you're working,
Building a mystery,
Holding on and holding it in.
Yeah, you're working,
Building a mystery,
And choosing so carefully.

- Sarah McLachlan
