Beatrice

Daniel Lanois


Beatrice come over here, come and lay yourself down 
yea tell me all about it to that lonesome sound 
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 
yea you got me thinking about what I don't want to know 
Beating of the chest, snake rising in the patriot's nest 
Doing what's best, kicking out the face of a mother's son. 

Beatrice I like your smile, makes me want to own you 
Well okay just for a while then, before they stone you 
Tell me, how do you speak to God? 
How do you speak to God - 
when you're down there on the floor 
singing the song of a mother's son 

singin' out now (repeat)
