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
Paper in fire
10
Stinking up the ashtrays
11
Paper in fire
12
Smoking up the alleyways
13
Who's to say the way
14
A man should spend his days
15
Do you let them smolder
16
Like paper in fire
17
He wanted love
18
With no involvement
19
So he chased the wind
20
That's all his silly life required
21
And the days of vanity
22
Went on forever
23
And he saw his days burn up
24
Like paper in fire
25
Paper in fire
26
Stinking up the ashtrays
27
Paper in fire
28
Smoking up the alleyways
29
Who's to say the way
30
A man should spend his days
31
Do you let them smolder
32
Like paper in fire
33
There's a good life
34
Right across the green fields
35
And each generation
36
Stares at it from afar
37
But we keep no check
38
On our appetites
39
So the green fields turn to brown
40
Like paper in fire
41
Paper in fire
42
Stinking up the ashtrays
43
Paper in fire
44
Smoking up the alleyways
45
Who's to say the way
46
A man should spend his days
47
Do you let them smolder
48
Like paper in fire
