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’re para-lyzed.

[Verse 2]
Cm7 F7
You hear the door slam, and realise there’s nowhere left to run.
Cm7
You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you’ll ever see the sun.
F7 Cm7
You close your eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
F7 Cm7
But all the while, you hear the creature creepin’ up be-hind;
Gm
You’re out of time.
[Chorus 2]

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

They will pos-sess you; unless you change the number on your dial.

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;

I’ll make you see…

[Spoken]
Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise your 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
