PAPER IN FIRE by John Mellencamp [1987]

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, the dream burned up
Like paper in fire

Paper in fire
Stinking up the ashtrays
Paper in fire
Smoking up the alleyways
Who's to say the way
A man should spend his days
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
Stinking up the ashtrays
Paper in fire
Smoking up the alleyways
Who's to say the way
A man should spend his days
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 appetites
So the green fields turn
To brown like paper in fire

Paper in fire
Stinking up the ashtrays
Paper in fire
Smoking up the alleyways
Who's to say the way
A man should spend his days
Do you let him smolder
Like paper in fire
(Repeat)

Paper in fire
