Paper in Fire

Lyrics
She had a dream And boy, it was a good one So she chased after her dream With much desire But when she got too close To her expectations Well, the dream burned up Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire? He wanted love With no involvemеnt So he chased the wind That's all his silly lifе required And the days of vanity Went on forever And he saw his days burn up Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire? There's a good life Right across this green field And each generation Stares at it from afar But we keep no check On our appetites So the green fields turn to brown Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Throwin' down the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire? Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Throwin' down the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire? Paper in fire
