Close to midnight, something evil's lurking through the dark At 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 someone looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed You know it's thriller, thriller night Fighting for your life inside a k**er, 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 Ain't no second chance to k** the thing with forty eyes You know it's thriller, thriller night Fighting for your life inside a k**er, thriller tonight
