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 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
But all the while you hear 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
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer,
thriller tonight
