FIVE FOR FIGHTING LYRICS - Bella's Birthday Cake

"Bella's Birthday Cake"



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

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...



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



Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Ever yearning Forest Fire



and all of her lines she left unread

"spirits and battles won," she said

and over her mountian tops she ground me off

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



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

Bella she was born today...



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.
