Michael Jackson - Thriller (Official Video - Shortened Version)

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 And 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, yeah Ooh

You hear the door slam, and realize there's nowhere left to run And you feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun And you close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination (girl) But all the while, you hear a creature creepin' up behind You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl Thriller (ooh), thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call And 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 Ooh

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side (ooh) 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 ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh), 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 ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ow!)

I'm gonna thrill you tonight Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

I'm gonna thrill you tonight 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

I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller) Ooh, baby (thriller), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night, killer) Oh, darling (oh, baby), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller) Ooh-ooh, baby (thriller night), I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller) Oh, darling (oh, baby), thriller night, baby (thriller night, baby) Ooh

The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years (thriller, thriller night) And grisly ghouls from every tomb (I'm gonna thrill you tonight, thriller) Are closing in to seal your doom (ooh, baby, oh yeah)

And though you fight to stay alive (ooh, I'm gonna thrill you tonight) Your body starts to shiver (I'm gonna thrill you tonight) For no mere mortal can resist (thriller, thriller tonight) The evil of the thriller
