Letra de
Psycho Killer

Psycho Killer foi composta por David Byrne, Chris Frantz e Tina Weymouth. A música foi inspirada pelos assassinatos em série do final da década de 1960 e começo da década de 1970, assim como o caráter perturbador de Alice Cooper. Byrne mencionou que a canção vem de como o mundo exterior percebe uma pessoa que sofre de paranoia, ele descreveu essa persona como um Psycho Killer.

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 que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh
Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh aaye aaye ooh

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not sayin anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh
Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh aye aye aye aye aye

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la, ce qu' elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir, je me lance vers la gloire o-kay
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We are vain and we are blind, I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh
Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh aye aye aye aye aye

Oooooohhhhhh (Repeat to fade over guitar and feedback)
