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 HER 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 DAY
DO YOU LET HIM SMOLDER
LIKE PAPER IN FIRE
HE WANTED LOVE
WITH NO INVOLVEMENT
SO HE CHASED THE WIND
THAT'S 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
WHO'S TO SAY
THE WAY A MAN SHOULD
SPEND HIS DAY
DO YOU LET HIM 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 APPETITE
SO THE GREEN FIELDS
TURN TO BROWN
LIKE PAPER IN FIRE
PAPER IN FIRE
STINKIN' UP
THE ASHTRAYS
PAPER IN FIRE
BLOWIN' DOWN
THE ALLEYWAYS
WHO'S TO SAY
THE WAY A MAN SHOULD
SPEND HIS DAY
DO YOU LET HIM SMOLDER
LIKE PAPER IN FIRE
PAPER IN FIRE
STINKIN' UP
THE ASHTRAYS
PAPER IN FIRE
BLOWIN' DOWN
THE ALLEYWAYS
WHO'S TO SAY
THE WAY A MAN SHOULD
SPEND HIS DAY
DO YOU LET HIM SMOLDER
LIKE PAPER IN FIRE
PAPER IN FIRE
