thriller

It's close to midnight
something evil's lurkin'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

You start to freeze
as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed!

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller at night

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

You know it's thriller
Thriller at night

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

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

You feel the cold hold
and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You close your eyes
and hope that this is just imagination

But all the while
you hear a creature creepin' up behind
you're outta time

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller at night
There ain't no second chance
against the thing with the forty eyes, girl

(chorus) Thriller
Thriller at night

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

Night creatures callin'
The dead start to walk in their masquerade

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(chorus)They're open wide
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side

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

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

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

That this is thriller
Thriller at night
Cause I can thrill you more
than any ghoul would ever dare try

(chorus)
(Thriller)
(Thriller at night)

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

(chorus) Thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller at night
Girl, I can thrill you more
than any ghoul would ever dare try

(chorus)
(Thriller)
(Thriller at night)

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

(fast) I'm gonna thrill you tonight

(narration)

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
to terrorize y'alls neighborhood

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
(low voice) (Thriller ... thriller)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(low voice) (Thriller night ... thriller))

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Ooh, babe, I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller at night, babe

(narration)

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
your body starts to shiver

For no mere mortal can resist
the evil ... of ... the thriller ... (wicked laugh)
