Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's close to midnight
Somethin' evil lurkin' in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
'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 fightin' for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fightin' for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
You know it's thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, aww
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight
[Verse 9]
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
