John Mellencamp - Paper In Fire - Live At Town Hall/2003 lyrics

Artist: John Mellencamp

album: Performs Trouble No More Live At Town Hall


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
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

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
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
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, let them smolder like paper in fire
