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