Hey! I love that song. Smiling The french phrase that's repeated in the chorus is "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" which means "What's that?", which in this case is probably just a paranoid kind of statement as opposed to asking what a psycho killer is. o_0 I'm not sure though.

Then there's this bit in the middle that's mostly French.

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là - What I did that night
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là - What she said that night
Réalisant mon espoir - Realising my hope (Though the meaning is closer to "realising my dreams" in English)
Je me lance vers la gloire - I throw myself towards glory

Hope I helped. Smiling
