Lyrics

Building A Mystery
By Sarah McLachlan

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 vodoo dolls
And you won't give up the searh
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 on building a mystery,
Holding on and holding it in,
Yeah you're working on 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 so beautiful,
A beautiful fucked up man,
You're setting up your razor wire shrine.

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