Building A Mystery

[nsync87dee]

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampire's 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 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
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin

Oh, you're beautiful
A beautiful, fucked up woman
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 it so carefully
