Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

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

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, ooh

[Verse 3]

I passed out hours ago

I'm sadder than you'll ever know

I close my eyes on this sunny day

Say somethin' once but I say it again

[Verse 4]

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

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

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

[Verse 5]

Ce que j'ai fait ce soir-là

Ce qu'elle a dit ce soir-là

Réalisant mon espoir

Je me lance vers la gloire

Okay

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye, aye aye, yeah, yeah

[Verse 6]

We are vain and we are blind

I hate people when they're not polite

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, ooh
