Michael Jackson - Thriller

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.

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 out of time.

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night.

Yeah, there ain't no second chance

against the thing with forty eyes, girl.

Thriller, thriller 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.

(They're open wide).

This is the end of your life, ooh.

They're out to get you,

there's demons closin' 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, killer, 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, 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'alls 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...

(Thriller)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight.

(Thriller)

Oh, darlin'.

(Oh, baby).

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

(Thriller)

Ooh, babe.

(Thriller night, babe).

I'm gonna thrill you tonight.

(Thriller)

Oh, darlin'.

(Oh, baby).

Thriller night, baby.

(Thriller night, baby).

Ooh!

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.
