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 (scream!)
But terror takes the sound before you make it, yeah, yeah
You start to freeze (freeze!)
As horror looks you right between the eyes, you're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller (thriller), thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller (thriller), thriller 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 hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes (eyes!)
And hope that this is just imagination, yeah, yeah
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller (thriller), thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller (thriller), thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour's close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your 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
♪
'Cause this is thriller (thriller), thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
Thriller (thriller), thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller tonight
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly 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
