Sarah McLachlan - Building A Mystery Lyrics

Sarah McLachlan - Building A Mystery Video

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

And 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

But 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 so 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
