Sarah Mclachlan - 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?

You re so beautiful

With an edge and charm

But so careful

When I m in your arms

Cuz 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

Give us a tantrum

And a know-it-all grin

Just when we need one

When the evening s thin

You re so beautiful

A beautiful fucked up man

You re setting up your

Razor wire shrine

Cuz 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
