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 But all the while you hear the 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 forty eyes You know it′s thriller, thriller night You′re fighting to survive inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call And 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 thru the night I′ll save you from the terrors on the screen, I′ll make you see
That it′s a thriller, thriller night ′Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try Girl, this is thriller, thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, Thriller here tonight
(Rap performed by Vincent Price) Darkness falls across the land The midnite 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 (Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)
[Jay Z:] Yeah, what you critics said would never happen. We dedicate this album to anybody, people said couldn′t make it. To the fans that held us down till everybody came around. Welcome. It′s here.
Last summer we took threes across the board But by fall we were a cover story "now in stores" Make us poster boys for your scene But we are not making an acceptance speech I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes Every dot com′s refreshing for a journal update
So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45
So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45
I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave Of my hand, ′cause that′s just the kind of boy that I am The only thing I haven′t done yet is die And it′s me and my plus one at the afterlife Crowds are won and lost and won again But our hearts beat for the diehards
So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45
So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45
Long live the car crash hearts (Long live the car crash hearts) Long live the car crash hearts (Long live the car crash hearts)
Long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45
