Thriller

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it

And you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah

Ooh

You hear the door slam, and realize there's nowhere left to run

And you feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

And you close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination (girl)

But all the while, you hear a creature creepin' up behind

You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl

Thriller (ooh), thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call

And the dead start to walk in their masquerade

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

(They're open wide) this is the end of your life

Ooh

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side (ooh)

They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial

Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

All through the night, I'll save you from the terror on the screen

I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try

Thriller (ooh), thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, thriller

Here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try

Thriller (ooh), thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ow!)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Darkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

And whosoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of Hell

And rot inside a corpse's shell

I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

Ooh, baby (thriller), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night, killer)

Oh, darling (oh, baby), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

Ooh-ooh, baby (thriller night), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

Oh, darling (oh, baby), thriller night, baby (thriller night, baby)

Ooh

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years (thriller, thriller night)

And grisly ghouls from every tomb (I'm gonna thrill you tonight, thriller)

Are closing in to seal your doom (ooh, baby, oh yeah)

And though you fight to stay alive (ooh, I'm gonna thrill you tonight)

Your body starts to shiver (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)

For no mere mortal can resist (thriller, thriller tonight)

The evil of the thriller
