VERSE: 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.

CHORUS: '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.

VERSE: 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
creeping up behind.
You're out of time.

CHORUS: 'Cause this is THRILLER, THRILLER night!
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with the 40 eyes, girl.
This is the THRILLER, THRILLER night!
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight.



BRIDGE: Night creatures call,
And the dead start to walk in the masquerade.
There's no escaping the jaws
Of the alien this time.
They're open wide.
This is the end of your life.

VERSE: They're out to get you.
There's demons closing in on every side.
They will possess you unless you change
That number on your dial.
Now is the time for you and I
To cuddle close together.
All through the night, I'll save you
from the terror on the screen.
I'll make you see.

CHORUS: That this is THRILLER, THRILLER night!
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghost would ever dare try.
This is the THRILLER, THRILLER night!
So let me hold you tight
And share a,
 getta THRILLER, chiller, THRILLER tonight.
'Cause this is THRILLER, THRILLER night!
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghost would ever dare try.
This is the THRILLER, THRILLER night!

So let me hold you tight
and share a, getta THRILLER.



I'm gonna feel ya tonight

SPOKEN (Vincent Price): Darkness falls across the land.
The midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'alls neighborhood.


And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face
The hounds of hell.
And rot inside a corpse’s shell.

VAMP

The foulest stench is in the air,
The funk of 40,000 years,
And grisly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom.


And though you fight to stay alive,
Your body starts to shiver.
For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the THRILLER.
