In the interlude in the Talking Heads song "Psycho Killer," where he is talking in French, what is he saying in English?

Also, what does Quest que cest mean? He says it:
Psycho Killer
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa faf better
Run run run run run away...

It means 'what is it?'

The bridge lyrics are in French and include the prominent chorus line, "Qu'est-ce que c'est?", which translates in English to "What is that?". The rest of the French lyrics translate roughly as:

What I did, this evening
What she said, this evening
Realize, my hope
I launch out towards glory
