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
 [bad word] 
'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 life inside
a killer, thriller tonight

You hear a door slam and realize
there's nowhere left [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 

Night creatures call
The dead start to walk in their
masquerade
There's no escapin' 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 the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to
cuddle close together
All [bad word] the night I'll save you
from the terrors on the screen
I'll make you see
 [bad word] 

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds
of [bad word] And rot inside a corpse's shell
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
(mechanical laughter)
