Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 The dream burned up like paper in fire [Chorus] Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire, smokin' up the alleyway Who's to say the way a man should spend his day? Do you let it smolder like paper in fire? [Verse 2] He wanted love with no involvement So he chasеd the wind, that's all his silly life requirеd And the days of vanity went on forever He saw his days burn up like paper in fire [Chorus] Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire, smokin' up the alleyway Who's to say the way a man should spend his day? Do you let it smolder like paper in fire? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 The green fields turn to brown like paper in fire [Chorus] Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire, smokin' up the alleyway Who's to say the way a man should spend his day? Do you let it smolder like paper in fire? Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire, smokin' up the alleyway Who's to say the way a man should spend his day? Do you let it smolder, let it smolder like paper in fire?
