Indoor Fireworks

歌詞

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