SHE HAD A DREAM

AND BOY

IT WAS A GOOD ONE

SO SHE CHASED

AF TER HER DREAM

WITH MUCH DE SIRE

BUT WHEN

SHE GOT TOO CLOSE

TO HER EX PEC TA TIONS

WELL HER DREAM

BURNED UP

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

PA PER IN FIRE

STINKIN' UP

THE ASH TRAYS

PA PER IN FIRE

SMOKIN' UP

THE AL LEY WAYS

WHO'S TO SAY

THE WAY A MAN SHOULD

SPEND HIS DAY

DO YOU LET HIM SMOL DER

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

HE WAN TED LOVE

WITH NO IN VOLVE MENT

SO HE CHASED THE WIND

THAT'S ALL HIS SILLY

LIFE RE QUIRED

AND THE DAYS OF VA NI TY

WENT ON FOR E VER

AND HE SAW

HIS DAYS BURN UP

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

PA PER IN FIRE

STINKIN' UP

THE ASH TRAYS

PA PER IN FIRE

SMOKIN' UP

THE AL LEY WAYS

WHO'S TO SAY

THE WAY A MAN SHOULD

SPEND HIS DAY

DO YOU LET HIM SMOL DER

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

THERE'S A GOOD LIFE

RIGHT A CROSS

THIS GREEN FIELD

AND EACH GE NE RA TION

STARES AT IT FROM A FAR

BUT WE KEEP NO CHECK

ON OUR AP PE TITE

SO THE GREEN FIELDS

TURN TO BROWN

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

PA PER IN FIRE

STINKIN' UP

THE ASH TRAYS

PA PER IN FIRE

BLOWIN' DOWN

THE AL LEY WAYS

WHO'S TO SAY

THE WAY A MAN SHOULD

SPEND HIS DAY

DO YOU LET HIM SMOL DER

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE

PA PER IN FIRE

STINKIN' UP

THE ASH TRAYS

PA PER IN FIRE

BLOWIN' DOWN

THE AL LEY WAYS

WHO'S TO SAY

THE WAY A MAN SHOULD

SPEND HIS DAY

DO YOU LET HIM SMOL DER

LIKE PA PER IN FIRE
