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, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
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, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
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
Ce qu'elle a dit ce soir-là

Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire
Okay
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-ce que c'est?
Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run away

I wonder if I'm the only person who thinks of Fraggle Rock when they hear the intro to this song.

LOL. Thanks, I needed that.
Sept '78 1st year university and just met my roommate, a farm boy from small town Ontario. Failing to read the room I enthusiastically played this song. He wasn't keen to say the least - but I stil very much am.

Wow, I thought I'd heard all the versions. Godlike of course.
Pretty solid

Wow, love this alternate version.  The longer intro is glorious.  Version has a bit of rawness which I'm digging as well.  Tina kills it regardless of the version so always going to be a winner on that front.
Pardon me, i have nothing to say.
