You hear the door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run.

You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
D7 D7 Am7 Am7
You close your eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
D7 D7 Am7 Am7
But all the while, you hear the creature creepin' up be-hind;
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Em Em
You're out of time.

This is the end of your life.

They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on every side.

Now is the time, for you and I to cuddle close to-gether.

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

Girl, this is; Thril-ler, Thriller Night;
D7 D7 F7 F7
So let me hold you tight, and share a killer,
D7 D7 F/G F/G Am7 Am7 C C
Diller, chil-ler, Thriller here tonight.

(Spoken):

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise y'awl's neighbourhood.
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 grizzy 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...

About this song: Thriller

Thriller is an early 1984 hit single recorded by Michael Jackson for the Epic label. It reached #4 in the U.S. singles chart and #10 in the UK singles chart. The 14-minute video is regarded by many as the greatest music video of all time, and the song itself is considered to be one of Jackson's signature songs. Written by Rod Temperton, produced by Quincy Jones, and featuring a guest soliloquy from Vincent Price, "Thriller" is one of Jackson's signature songs, in no small part because of its music video.
