Thriller Lyrics - American Idol

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 

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night 

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

You know it's thriller, thriller night 

You're 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, girl 

But all the while, you hear the creature creeping up behind 

You're out of time 

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night 

There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl 

Thriller, thriller night 

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

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade 

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time 

(They're open wide) 

This is the end of your life 

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, yeah 

All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen 

I'll make you see 

That this is thriller, thriller night 

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try 

Thriller, thriller night 

So let me hold you tight and share a 

Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight 

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night 

Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try 

Thriller, thriller night 

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow! 

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight 

Darkness falls across the land 

The midnight hour is close at hand 

Creatures crawl in search of blood 

To terrorize y'alls neighborhood 

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby 

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin' 

Thriller night, baby, ooh! 

The foulest stench is in the air 

The funk of forty thousand years 

And grizzly 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
