Down a half step

Intro

Verse

Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year

 and took a certain liking to a fella there, Bella

 She said I brought her back to some old better man, fella

Bella she was born today, feeling kinda spry...

Chorus

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning, yeah

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...

(Intro)(Verse)(Chorus)

Break

 { } x2

Bridge

And all of her lines she left unread, spirits and battles won, she said

and over her mountain tops she ground me off where...I can't remember...

(Break)

 Reprise:

Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year

Bella she was born today...

 "Bella!": { } x 4

(Chorus) ad nauseum

Lyrics

Verse

Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year

Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella

She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah

Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry

Chorus

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...

Verse

Bella made her bed in red every loneliest night of the year

Tied me to the rages of her rocking chair - Bella

Fed me quiet offer through her ever wares - I'll tell ya

Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry

Chorus

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Ever yearning Forest Fire

Bridge

and all of her lines she left unread

"spirits and battles won," she said

and over her mountain tops she ground me off

where...I can't remember...

Reprise: Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year

Bella she was born today...

Chorus

BELLA'S Birthday Cake was burning

Bella's BIRTHDAY Cake was burning

Bella's Birthday CAKE was burning

Bella's Birthday Cake was BURNING...50 years gone.

*[on a personal note, i first heard this song on a promotional cd for

Surge, that green soda from the 90's. Surge no longer exists, and this

song was tough to find. Finally found it on youtube in some clip featuring

the Sims. Enjoy!]
