Paper In Fire - John Mellencamp[00:00:19]
She had a dream[00:00:28]
And boy it was a good one[00:00:29]
So she chased after her dream[00:00:34]
With much desire[00:00:36]
But when she got too close[00:00:41]
To her expectations[00:00:43]
Well the dream burned up[00:00:47]
Like paper in fire[00:00:50]
Paper in fire[00:00:54]
Stinkin' up the ashtrays[00:00:55]
Paper in fire[00:00:57]
Smokin' up the alleyways[00:00:59]
Who's to say the way[00:01:01]
A man should spend his days[00:01:03]
Do you let them smolder [00:01:04]
Like paper in fire[00:01:07]
He wanted love[00:01:12]
With no involvement[00:01:14]
So he chased the wind[00:01:19]
That's all his silly life required[00:01:20]
And the days of vanity[00:01:26]
Went on forever[00:01:27]
And he saw his days burn up[00:01:31]
Like paper in fire[00:01:34]
Paper in fire[00:01:38]
Stinkin' up the ashtrays[00:01:39]
Paper in fire[00:01:41]
Smokin' up the alleyways[00:01:43]
Who's to say the way[00:01:44]
A man should spend his days[00:01:46]
Do you let them smolder [00:01:48]
Like paper in fire[00:01:51]
There is a good life[00:02:26]
Right across the green field[00:02:28]
And each generation[00:02:33]
Stares at it from afar[00:02:35]
But we keep no check[00:02:40]
On our appetites[00:02:42]
So the green fields turn to brown[00:02:46]
Like paper in fire[00:02:48]
Paper in fire[00:02:52]
Stinkin' up the ashtrays[00:02:54]
Paper in fire[00:02:55]
Blow down the alleyways[00:02:57]
Who's to say the way[00:02:59]
A man should spend his days[00:03:01]
Do you let them smolder [00:03:02]
Like paper in fire[00:03:05]
Paper in fire[00:03:09]
Stinkin' up the ashtrays[00:03:11]
Paper in fire[00:03:12]
Blow down the alleyways[00:03:14]
Who's to say the way[00:03:16]
A man should spend his days[00:03:17]
Do you let them smolder [00:03:19]
Like paper in fire[00:03:22]
Paper in fire[00:03:36]
