A Spooky Tale - lyrics to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'

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



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

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 Terror On The Screen, I’ll Make You See

Darkness Falls Across The Land

The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand

Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood

To Terrorize 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
