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 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 thing about strike Thriller, thriller night Nobody for your life inside a killer, thriller night
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 But all the while you feel the creature creepin’ up behind You’re out of time
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes Thriller, thriller night You’re fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
They’re out to get you, there’s demons closing in on every side They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together 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 dare to try Girl, thriller, thriller night You’re fighting for your life inside of killer, Thriller tonight Thriller tonight
