Lyrics

[Chorus]
My name is Norman Bates I'm just a normal guy
My name is Norman Bates-s-s-s-s
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
My name is Norman Bates
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Mother! Oh my God!
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Spoken]
Did Norman murder the girl in the Bates Motel? Yes, or No?
To understand the case, you have to go back to the time ten years ago
When the young Norman murdered his mother and her lover
Matricide: perhaps, the most unbearable crime of all
Norman refused to come to terms with the horror of his deed
His mother was still alive. He stole her corpse and preserved it with chemicals
He kept her alive by wearing her clothes speaking in her voice thinking her thoughts
He became both mother and son
Norman Bates normal, healthy young man with regular interests and habits
And Mrs. Bates a clinging, posessive woman, and a homicidal maniac
When Norman encountered the girl at the motel, his sexual instincts were aroused
He wanted her - desired her
This was too much for the other side of Norman's personality
In a jealous frenzy, Mother murdered the girl
When two personalities share the same mind, there is always conflict
Now, that conflict is over: Mother has taken over Norman's mind
Perhaps for all time
Norman Bates no longer exists
