Generate meaning
1
She had a dream
2
And boy it was a good one
3
So she chased after her dream
4
With much desire
5
But when she get too close
6
To her expectations
7
Well the dream burned up
8
Like paper in fire
9
CHORUS:
10
Paper in fire
11
Stinkin up the ashtrays
12
Paper in fire
13
Smokin up the alleyways
14
Whos to say the way
15
A man should spend his days
16
Do you let them smolder
17
Like paper in fire
18
He wanted love
19
With no involvement
20
So he chased the wind
21
Thats all his silly life required
22
And the days of vanity
23
Went on forever
24
And he saw his days burn up
25
Like paper in fire
26
CHORUS:
27
Paper in fire
28
stinkin up the ashtrays
29
Paper in fire
30
Smokin up the alleyways
31
Whos to say the way
32
A man should spend his days
33
Do you let them smolder
34
Like paper in fire
35
Theres a good life
36
right across the green fields
37
And each generation
38
Stares at it from afar
39
But we keep no check
40
On our appetites
41
So the green fields turn to brown
42
Like paper in fire
43
CHORUS:
44
Paper in fire
45
Stinkin up the ashtrays
46
Paper in fire
47
Smokin up the alleyways
48
Whos to say the way
49
A man should spend his days
50
Do you let them smolder
51
Like paper in fire
