Building A Mystery Lyrics - Surfacing - Sarah Mclachlan

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 

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 

Oh, 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, 

Oh yeah you're working, 

Building a mystery 

And choosing so carefully 

You're building a mystery.
