Psycho Killer
Black Mighty Wax Lyrics

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I am having trouble accepting reality

I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I am anxious and unable to calm down

I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire
I am unable to rest because of intense emotional turmoil

Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
I am so agitated that physical contact could cause me to lash out

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est
The artist is referring to themselves as a 'psycho killer', questioning what that means.

Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
'Psycho Killer' is repeated, indicating that whatever it is, it's better than the current situation

Run run run run run run run away
The singer wants to escape their current state of mind

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
The person they're talking to is unable to keep up with the artist's erratic thoughts

You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything
The artist believes the other person is babbling without a point

When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
The artist will stay quiet rather than contribute meaningless chatter

Say something once, why say it again?
The singer is frustrated with repetition and empty words

Je me lance, vers la gloire OK

We are vain and we are blind

I hate people when they're not polite
