Elvis Costello
Indoor Fireworks

We play these parlour games
We play at make believe
When we get to the part where 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
CHORUS:
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
Indoor fireworks
We swore we 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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS


Mirror lyrics:

CHORUS

And burn a broken effigy of me and you
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through
And all that powder's gone to waste
My fuse is burning out
These things have to be faced
It's time to tell the truth

CHORUS

When we got on our own behind closed doors
But different kinds of sparks would fly
With very little cause
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
I thought our love was fireproof
And though the sparks would fly
The gin in my vermouth
You were the spice of life

When the smoke gets in your eyes
Or bring a tear
But they can dazzle or delight
They don't burn up in the sky
They're not so spectacular
We swore we were safe as houses
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
Indoor fireworks
CHORUS:
To the part where everybody loves to cry
We go straight past pretending
Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try
When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave
We play at make believe
We play these parlour games
