You come out at night,
that's when the energy
comes

And the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
You strut your astorware
and your suicide poem
You come out at night,
that's when the energy

comes

And the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
You strut your astorware
and your suicide poem

Add 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?
You're so beautiful,
isn't it charming?

And so careful
when I'm in your arms
'Cause you're working,
building a mystery
Holdin' on and holdin' it in

Yeah you're working,
building a mystery
And choosin' so carefully
You woke up screamin'
aloud, a prayer from

your secret god

carefully
You woke up screamin'
aloud, a prayer from

your secret god
To feed off of fears and
hold back your tears, oh

You give us a tantrum

and a know-it-all grin
Just when we need one,
when the evenin's thin
You're her beautiful,

beautiful fucked-up man
You're setting up your
razor wire show

'Cause you're working,
building a mystery
Holdin' on and holdin' it in
Yeah you're working,
building a mystery

And choosin' so carefully
Ooo you're working,
building a mystery
Yeah you're working,
building a mystery

And choosin' so carefully
000 you're working,
building a mystery
Holdin' on and holdin' it in

Yeah you're working,
building a mystery
And choosin' so carefully
Yeah, you're working,
building a mystery

Holdin' on and holdin' it in
Oh yeah you're working,
building a mystery
Yeah, you're working,
building a mystery
Holdin' on and holdin' it in
Oh yeah you're working,
building a mystery

And choosin' so carefully
You're building a mystery
