Thriller lyrics by Michael Jackson

0:59It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

1:07Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

1:13You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it

1:21And you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

1:27You're paralyzed

1:29'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

1:34And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike

1:37You know it's thriller, thriller night

1:42You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah

1:52Ooh

1:56You hear the door slam, and realize there's nowhere left to run

2:03And you feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

2:10And you close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination (girl)

2:18But all the while, you hear a creature creepin' up behind

2:24You're out of time

2:26'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

2:30There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl

2:35Thriller (ooh), thriller night

2:39You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

2:45Night creatures call

2:47And the dead start to walk in their masquerade

2:53There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

2:58(They're open wide) this is the end of your life

3:04Ooh

3:06They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side (ooh)

3:15They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial

3:21Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

3:29All through the night, I'll save you from the terror on the screen

3:35I'll make you see

3:37That this is thriller, thriller night

3:41'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try

3:46Thriller (ooh), thriller night

3:49So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, thriller

3:56Here tonight

3:58'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

4:02Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try

4:06Thriller (ooh), thriller night

4:10So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ow!)

4:15♪

4:22I'm gonna thrill you tonight

4:24Darkness falls across the land

4:28The midnight hour is close at hand

4:31Creatures crawl in search of blood

4:34To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

4:38I'm gonna thrill you tonight

4:39And whosoever shall be found

4:41Without the soul for getting down

4:46Must stand and face the hounds of Hell

4:50And rot inside a corpse's shell

4:54I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

4:56Ooh, baby (thriller), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night, killer)

5:01Oh, darling (oh, baby), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

5:04Ooh-ooh, baby (thriller night), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller)

5:08Oh, darling (oh, baby), thriller night, baby (thriller night, baby)

5:13Ooh

5:14The foulest stench is in the air

5:17The funk of forty thousand years (thriller, thriller night)

5:20And grisly ghouls from every tomb (I'm gonna thrill you tonight, thriller)

5:23Are closing in to seal your doom (ooh, baby, oh yeah)

5:28And though you fight to stay alive (ooh, I'm gonna thrill you tonight)

5:31Your body starts to shiver (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)

5:35For no mere mortal can resist (thriller, thriller tonight)

5:39The evil of the thriller

5:42♪
