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

Indoor fireworks

Can still burn your fingers

Indoor fireworks

We swore we were safe as houses

Theyre 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 wed 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 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

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 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

When the smoke gets in your eyes

When the smoke gets in your eyes
