[Intro: Norman Bates]
It's not as if she were a... maniac, a raving thing
She just goes... a little mad sometimes
We all go a little mad sometimes

[Instrumental Drop]

[Interlude: Norman Bates & Marion Crane]
You understand that I don't hate her. I hate what she's become. I hate the illness
Wouldn't it be better if you put her... someplace?
You mean an institution? A madhouse?

[Drop]
Put her in some place
I am sorry-
She's hurting you

[Bridge: Beth Gibbons]
With western eyes and serpents' breath
We lay our own conscience to rest
But I'm aching at the view
Yes I'm breaking at the seams just like you

[Instrumental Outro]
