Beatrice Lyrics - Daniel Lanois

Beatrice, come over here, come and lay yourself down 

Yeah tell me all about it to that lonesome sound 

Mm, take a look outside, it's all a bit crazy 

People are real nervous, too nervous to talk to a mother's son 

Beatrice, let's get dressed, take a look at what's been done 

Yeah you got me thinking about what I don't want to know 

Beating of the chest, stink rising in the patriot's nest 

Oh, doing what's best, kicking out the face of a mother's son 

Beatrice, I like your smile, makes me wanna own you 

Okay just for a while then, before they stone you 

Tell me, how do you speak to God? 

Tell me, how do you speak to God? 

When you're down there on the floor oh, singing the song of a mother's son 

Singin' out now 

Oh, singin' out now 

Mm, singin' out now 

Oh, singin' out now 

Oh, singin' out now 

Oh, singin' out now
