Superkiller Lyrics

[Intro]
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yeah!

[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, 'cause my bed's on fire

[Chorus]
Psycho killer, bed's on fire
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh-ho-ooh
Psycho killer, don't touch my bed!
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh oh oh oh, ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-wwwww!

[Verse 2]
You start a conversation, you can't even finish it
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
Say something once, why say it again?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better
Say something once, fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Psycho killer, oh oh oh
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh oh oh oh, ay-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yeah!

[Bridge]
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when their bed's on fire

[Chorus]
Psycho killer (Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yeah!)
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away (Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yeah!)
Oh oh oh oh, ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-wwwww!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
