ELVIS COSTELLO - Indoor Fireworks lyrics
rate meWe play these parlour games<br>We play at make believe<br>When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave<br>Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try<br>We go straight past pretending<br>To the part where everybody loves to cry<br><br>(chorus)<br>Indoor fireworks<br>Can still burn your fingers<br>Indoor fireworks<br>We swore we were safe as houses<br>They're not so spectacular<br>They don't burn up in the sky<br>But they can dazzle or delight<br>Or bring a tear<br>When the smoke gets in your eyes<br><br>You were the spice of life<br>The gin in my vermouth<br>And though the sparks would fly<br>I thought our love was fireproof<br>Sometimes we'd fight in public darling<br>With very little cause<br>But different kinds of sparks would fly<br>When we got on our own behind closed doors<br><br>(chorus)<br>It's time to tell the truth<br>These things have to be faced<br>My fuse is burning out<br>And all that powder's gone to waste<br>Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through<br>I'll build a bonfire of my dreams<br>And burn a broken effigy of me and you<br><br>(chorus)
