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 beast about 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 the creature creeping 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, girl Thriller, thriller night (Ohh Hoo) You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller toniiiight

Night creatures calling, 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

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl Thriller, thriller night (Ohh Hoo) You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller toniiiight
