You're so beautiful With an edge and charm and Oh 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 Oohhoooeeewww Oehh 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
