Lyrics for Indoor Fireworks by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | King Of America | | Track: | Indoor Fireworks | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
