In The Way

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, ad 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.
