Sarah McLachlan : from the album 'Surfacing.'
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 your way
Oh, you're so beautiful
With an edge and a 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
Give us a tantrum and a know it all grin
Just when we need one the evening's thin
Oh, you're beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your razor wire shrine
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Back to Believe.
