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 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
Ain't no second chance to kill the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
Fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
