THRILLER Lyrics - MICHAEL JACKSON It's close to midnightSomething evil's a-lurkin'in the darkUnder the moonlightYou see a sight that almost stops your heartYou try to screamBut terror takes the sound before you make itYou start to freezeAs horror looks you right between the eyesYou're paralyzed 'Cause this is thrillerThriller at nightAnd no one's gonna save youFrom the beast about to strikeYou know it's thrillerThriller at nightYou're fighting for your lifeInside a killerThriller tonight, yeah You hear the door slamAnd realize there's nowhere left to runYou feel the cold handAnd wonder if you'll ever see the sunYou close your eyesAnd hope that this is just imaginationBut all the whileYou hear a creature creepin' up behindYou're outta time 'Cause this is thrillerThriller at nightThere ain't no second chanceAgainst the thing with the forty eyes, girlThrillerThriller at nightYou're fighting for your lifeInside a killerThriller tonight I'm gonna thrill you tonight (laughter)
