john cougar mellencamp - paper in fire lyrics

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
chorus
paper in fire
stinkin’ up the ashtray
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
chorus
there is a good life
right across this green field
and each generation
stares at it from afar
but we keep no check
on our appet-tes
so the green fields turn to brown
like paper in fire
chorus
