It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking 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 your 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 knocking at your door
And fear that 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
But all the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
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's the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
Yeah, yeah, thriller, thriller
Thiller, thriller, tonight, yeah, ooh, ooh
