paper in fire (live) - john mellencamp lyrics

[verse 1]
she had a dream, boy, it was a good one
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
papеr in fire, stinkin’ up the ashtrays
paper in firе, smokin’ up the alleyway
who’s to say the way a man should spend his day?
do you let it smolder like paper in fire?

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
paper in fire, stinkin’ up the ashtrays
paper in fire, smokin’ up the alleyway
who’s to say the way a man should spend his day?
do you let it smolder like paper in fire?
paper in fire, stinkin’ up the ashtrays
paper in fire, smokin’ up the alleyway
who’s to say the way a man should spend his day?
do you let it smolder like paper in fire?

[outro]
paper in fire
paper in fire
