"we all go a little mad sometimes. haven't you?"

Just one place off of the highway with a vacancy,
Leave your luggage in the doorway so mother see.
I'll bring dinner to the office if you're hungry.
We can talk about my mother and of my hobbies.

Won't you come inside, but please don't tell?
See my home and little slice of hell.
Taxidermy suits my mother well,
Just one vacancy at the bates motel.

I can tell i've made you nervous; you've gone back to your room.
I can hear you in the shower; i watch you as you groom.
It's not wise to upset mother; now look what she's done.
Sink your car down in the water, i've lost another one.

Won't you come inside, but please don't tell?
See my home and little slice of hell.
Taxidermy suits my mother well,
Just one vacancy at the bates motel.

"no! i will not hide in the fruit cellar! haha! you think i'm fruity, huh? i'm staying right here. this is my room and no one will drag me out of it, least of all my big, bold son!"

Won't you come inside, but please don't tell?
See my home and little slice of hell.
Taxidermy suits my mother well,
Just one vacancy at the bates motel.

Won't you come inside, but please don't tell?
See my home and little slice of hell.
Taxidermy suits my mother well,
Just one vacancy at the bates motel.

Just one vacancy at the bates motel!
Just one vacancy at the bates motel!
Just one vacancy at the bates motel!
Just one vacancy at the bates motel!

"well, a boy's best friend is his mother."
