Une chanson brillante par Talking Heads, Psycho Killer centers around the mind of a serial killer and David Byrne's desire to understand what goes on in said mind. And apparently that involves listening to Alice Cooper a lot, since that's what Byrne used for inspiration.
Assuming the role of the killer, Byrne waxes philisophic over "psycho killer. Qu'est-ce que c'est?" (or what is it). Byrne is tense and nervous over something, his need to sleep seems to have hit an obstacle since his bed is on fire. And the chorus, other than the French part, has him telling himself (or someone) to run away (after saying "fa" a lot).
The bridge gives us an even deeper look into his psyche. But it's in French, so unless you can understand French, you're pretty shit out of luck. Basically what Byrne reveals is that something happened one evening between him and a woman that ended with him going "headlong for glory." Take what you like of that line.
Ceci est ma chanson préférée!
