MMFW
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
stinkin' up the ashtrays

Paper in fire

smokin' up the alleyways
Who's to say the way a man

should spend his days

Do you let them 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 days

Do you let them smolder

like paper in fire
Instrumental 33 Seconds
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
stinkin' up the ashtrays

Paper in fire

blowin' out the alleyways
Who's to say the way a man

should spend his days

Do you let them smolder

like paper in fire
Who's to say the way a man

should spend his days

Do you let them smolder

like paper in fire
