Sarah McLachlan – Building A Mystery
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 a 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 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 Ahh, you’re 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 Oh yeah you’re working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You’re building a mystery
@chanelgirl4ever99 omg hun you are SO right!!! I agree!

i love you saraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@chanelgirl4ever99 I grew up in the 90s the best music of my life there’s some good stuff now but this shit can’t be beat>
According to Valerie Solanas, most men do
Does anybody build mysteries anymore?
@chanelgirl4ever99 Good for you! That means you are wiser and hell lot smarter than the other kids your age. Thumbs way up for you.
“Integrity”? The only way to hear “the F bomb” is on Surfacing. Both the music video and the radio edits were censored. The video featured on this page is probably zounds’ home-made edit. McLachlan is a mainstream artist, she ain’t no Diamanda Galas, Peaches or Karen Finley.
@chanelgirl4ever99 I can’t help but listen to this song…. Every time I get online… I am here… In my truck… In my head… Anywhere… This song has been on my mind ever since it came out… When I was 13…
i love this song…but…every time i hear one of her songs..i think of those poor fucking abused animals…catch-22..now excuse me while i go give my dog a hug
@chanelgirl4ever99 hell yeah kid…you got taste
@here4family if that was your reaction to this then maybe you should hear TOOL or dredg ….even deeper even more…better check it yourself…..think for yourself question authority …
I’m NOT suprised. McLachlan has a solid education, a strong, sensible grasp on gender relationships, and she’s probably well-read too. This arty person hasn’t emptied all her resources yet. But as long as she’ll stay in the clutches of Sony Music, she’ll remain “only a shadow of the woman (she) should be” (stuart adamson)
@here4family You, my dear, win the most beautiful and thoughtfully worded comment EVER award. Hats off.
i was an extra in this video, kid, there was a dancing scene with use kids n the background behind a curtain sheet but i guess they cut that part out or im blind lol.
@here4family
yeah this song creeps me out and brings back sooo many good memories from my childhood simultaneously
YYEEESSS!!!! Just beautiful! RAWR.. i really do wish our music was like this too.
That’s one sexy lady…i think I’ve been watching this for 20 minutes. Great voice too.
@hellonwheels2u By the time this song came out hearing cuss words in a song was no longer new. I still remember listening to the uncensored version of “Longview” by Green Day, which features the F bomb 7 times.
Still kinda surprising to hear one from her, though.
@chanelgirl4ever99
Your are right ~
You hear this..then you hear Rhianna.. There’s ma point.
shes fookn sexy isnt she
@chanelgirl4ever99 I Love your take on todays music, me dear one.. I”m a product of the 1950′s , 1954 to be exact.. yup old enuff to be yer granddad I guess, But it is refreshing to hear someone your age with a positive spin on how Teris-is-stopable today’s music can be.. Some of today’s rap music, isn’t really music at tall, it’s not played with real instruments. just an electronic beat, white noise created by a transistor, and a coupla of intergrated circuits, one of main reasons why so many
