She had a dream

boy it was a good one

So she chased after her dream

With much desire

But when she get 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

Whos to say the way

A man should spend his days

Do you let them smolder

Like paper in fire

He wanted love

With no involvement

So he chased the wind

Thats all his silly life 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

Whos to say the way

A man should spend his days

Do you let them smolder

Like paper in fire

Theres a good life

Right across the green fields

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

Smokin up the alleyways

Whos 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

Smokin up the alleyways

Whos to say the way

A man should spend his days

Do you let them smolder

Like paper in fire
