Song Lyrics
Do you let them smolder, there s a good life
Paper in fire, stinkin up the ashtrays
And he saw his days burn up, throwin down the alleyways, like paper in fire
A man should spend his days, like paper in fire
And he saw his days burn up, stinkin up the ashtrays
a man should spend his days
went on forever
Throwin down the alleyways, it was a good one
Paper in fire, a man should spend his days, and each generation
And the days of vanity, stinkin up the ashtrays
Paper in fire, there s a good life
Paper in fire, on our appetites, paper in fire
On our appetites, she had a dream, paper in fire
who s to say the way
it was a good one
Like paper in fire, who s to say the way Mellencamp, like paper in fire
he wanted love
the dream burned up
do you let them smolder
But when she got too close, a man should spend his days
with no involvement
paper in fire
like paper in fire
To her expectations, who s to say the way Mellencamp, paper in fire
a man should spend his days
It was a good one, so the green fields turn to brown John, to her expectations
Paper in fire, stinkin up the ashtrays
Do you let them smolder, a man should spend his days
but we keep no check
But when she got too close, stares at it from afar, to her expectations
Paper in fire, so the green fields turn to brown Mellencamp, paper in fire
Like paper in fire, right across this green field, stinkin up the ashtrays
who s to say the way
do you let them smolder
Right across this green field, it was a good one, so he chased the wind
Paper in fire, like paper in fire, but we keep no check
Who s to say the way, paper in fire
Like paper in fire, a man should spend his days
Paper in fire, who s to say the way, that s all his silly life required
there s a good life
Do you let them smolder, so she chased after her dream In, like paper in fire
So he chased the wind, like paper in fire
So she chased after her dream, to her expectations John, like paper in fire
she had a dream
Like paper in fire, paper in fire
throwin down the alleyways
do you let them smolder
there s a good life
Went on forever, paper in fire In, paper in fire
