Paper In Fire - John Mellencamp
    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 invovlement
    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

    There is a good life
    Right across the 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
    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
