Psycho Killer is a weird song by Talking Heads. It has a jerky, insistent bassline and lyrics that seem to represent the thoughts of a serial killer. The song was featured in the horror movie Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far
Better run run run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can’t even finish it.
You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far
Better run run run run run run run away
Ce que j’ai fait ce soir-là (What I did, that evening)
Ce qu’elle a dit ce soir-là (What she said, that evening)
Réalisant mon espoir (Fulfilling my hope)
Je me lance vers la gloire… OK (Headlong I go for glory… OK)
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite
Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far
Better run run run run run run run away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
O,O
