It's close to midnight
And 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 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
You hear the door slam
And realize
there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll
ever see the sun
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 outta time
'Cause this is thriller
Thriller
night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with the forty eyes,
girl
(Thriller)
(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
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, 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 ghost would ever dare try
(Thriller)
(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 ghost would ever dare
try
(Thriller)
(Thriller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share
a
(Killer, thriller)
Aoww!
I'm gonna thrill you
tonight
[Rap]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is
close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's
neighbourhood
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)
Oh,
babe
(Thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller)
All the
time
(Oh, babe)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller, thriller night
babe)
Ooh, babe, I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller)
All the
time
(Oh, baby)
Thriller night, babe
(Thriller night,
babe)
[Rap]
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
(Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)
