Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The moon is climbing high above the graveyard trees
Shadows start to move without a breath of breeze
You're walking home alone down this empty street
And something in the dark is matching every beat
I feel it closing in, I feel it in my bones
The night has come alive and we're not alone
Every step you take, something else is near
Welcome to the show that feeds on fear
[Chorus]
It's a night of thrills, a midnight masquerade
Monsters dancing where the shadows played
Hold me close, don't run, don't hide
This is just a game we play in the dark tonight
Thriller, in the moonlight
Thriller, hold on tight
Nothing's really what it seems
Just a thriller of a dream
[Verse 2]
The creatures rise up from beneath the crooked stones
Circling around us, we're not alone
I hear a voice behind us calling out your name
It's just a story, just a haunted game
The fog is rolling thicker, the streetlights start to fade
This is the theater that the darkness made
Grab my hand and don't look back too long
This is where the shadows sing their song
[Chorus]
It's a night of thrills, a midnight masquerade
Monsters dancing where the shadows played
Hold me close, don't run, don't hide
This is just a game we play in the dark tonight
Thriller, in the moonlight
Thriller, hold on tight
Nothing's really what it seems
Just a thriller of a dream
[Spoken]
They're closing in around us now
Every shadow wearing a wicked crown
There's nowhere left to run tonight
So dance until the coming light
[Bridge]
The clock is striking twelve upon the tower
This is our darkest, wildest hour
Scream if you want to, laugh if you dare
Nothing in this night can compare
[Chorus]
It's a night of thrills, a midnight masquerade
Monsters dancing where the shadows played
Hold me close, don't run, don't hide
This is just a game we play in the dark tonight
Thriller, in the moonlight
Thriller, hold on tight
Nothing's really what it seems
Just a thriller of a dream
