Thriller - Instrumental Lyrics
Michael Jackson
Lyrics
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 life inside a killer
Thriller Thriller, Thriller night
You hear a 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
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 cruddles close together, Yeah
All thru the night
I'll save you from the terrors on the screen
I'll make you see
(Darkness fall 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 hell
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)
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 Thriller, Thriller night
Cause I can Thrill you more than any ghost
Who would dare to try
Thriller, Thiller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, Thriller, Chiller
Here Tonight!
Cause this is Thriller, Thriller night
Cause I can Thrill you more than any ghost
Who would dare to try
Thriller, Thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, Thriller Aaow!
