Sarah Mclachlan - Building A Mystery lyrics

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?

You’re so beautiful

With an edge and 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, oh

You give us a tantrum and a know it all grin

Just when we need one when the evening’s thin

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

Ooh you're working building a mystery

Holding on and holding it in

Yeah you're working building a mystery

And choosing so carefully

Yeah you're working

Building a mystery

Holding on and holding it in

Yeah you're working

Building a mystery

And choosing so carefully

You're building a mystery
