Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Indoor Fireworks
We play these parlour gamesWe play at make believeWhen we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leaveEverybody loves a happy ending but we don't even tryWe go straight past pretendingTo the part where everybody loves to cry[Chorus]Indoor fireworksCan still burn your fingersIndoor fireworksWe swore we were safe as housesThey're not so spectacularThey don't burn up in the skyBut they can dazzle or delightOr bring a tearWhen the smoke gets in your eyesYou were the spice of lifeThe gin in my vermouthAnd though the sparks would flyI thought our love was fireproofSometimes we'd fight in public darlingWith very little causeBut different kinds of sparks would flyWhen we got on our own behind closed doorsLetras de canciones[Chorus]It's time to tell the truthThese things have to be facedMy fuse is burning outAnd all that powder's gone to wasteDon't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be throughI'll build a bonfire of my dreamsAnd burn a broken effigy of me and you[Chorus] From Letras Mania
