Version 1 of the lyrics

  She had a dream  She had a dream
  And boy it was a good one  And boy it was a good one
  So she chased after her dream  So she chased after her dream
  With much desire  With much desire
  But when she got too close  But when she got too close
  To her expectations  To her expectations
  Well the dream burned up  Well the dream burned up
  Like paper in fire  Like paper in fire
      
  Paper in fire  Paper in fire
  Stinkin' up the ashtrays  Stinkin' up the ashtrays
  Paper in fire  Paper in fire
  Smokin' up the alleyways  Smokin' up the alleyways
  Who's to say the way  Who's to say the way
  A man should spend his days  A man should spend his days
1  Do you let them smolder?   Do you let them smolder 1
  Like paper in fire  Like paper in fire
      
  He wanted love  He wanted love
2  With no involvement   With no invovlement 2
  So he chased the wind  So he chased the wind
3  That's all his silly life required   That's all his silly                 3
1  life required1
  And the days of vanity  And the days of vanity
  Went on forever  Went on forever
  And he saw his days burn up  And he saw his days burn up
  Like paper in fire  Like paper in fire
      
4  Paper in fire   Chorus           4
1  Stinkin' up the ashtrays   1
2  Paper in fire   2
3  Smokin' up the alleyways   3
4  Who's to say the way   4
5  A man should spend his days   5
6  Do you let them smolder?   6
7  Like paper in fire   7
      
  There is a good life  There is a good life
  Right across the green field  Right across the green field
  And each generation  And each generation
  Stares at it from afar  Stares at it from afar
  But we keep no check  But we keep no check
  On our appetites  On our appetites
5  So the green fields turn to brown   So the green fields                  5
6  Like paper in fire   turn to brown       6
8   8
9  Paper in fire   9
10  Stinkin' up the ashtrays   10
11  Paper in fire   11
12  Blow down the alleyways   12
13  Who's to say the way   13
14  A man should spend his days   14
15  Do you let them smolder?   15
  Like paper in fire  Like paper in fire
      
7  Paper in fire   Chorus           7
16  Stinkin' up the ashtrays   16
17  Paper in fire   17
18  Blow down the alleyways   18
19  Who's to say the way   19
20  A man should spend his days   20
21  Do you let them smolder?   21
22  Like paper in fire   22
23  Paper in fire   23
