Lyrics

It’s close to mid night, and (C#m7)some thin’ e vil’s lurk in’ in the dark.

Un der the moon light you (C#m7)see a sight that al num most stops your heart.

You (F#)try to scream,

but a ter ror takes the sound be fore you make it.

You start to freeze

as hor ror looks you right be tween the eyes.

You’re pa ra lyzed.

’Cause this is (C#m)thrill (E)er,

(C#m7)thrill er night.

And (F#7)no one’s gon na save you from the beast a bout to strike.

You know, it’s (C#m)thrill (E)er,

thrill (F#)er (C#m7)night.

You’re (F#7)fight ing for your life in side a kill er thrill er to (C#m7)night,

yeah.

You hear the door slam and (C#m7)re al ize there’s no where left to run.

You feel the cold hand, and (C#m7)won der if you’ll ev num er see the sun.

You (F#)close your eyes,

and a hope that this is just i ma gi na tion.

But all the while,

you hear a crea ture creep in’ up be hind.

You’re out of time.

’Cause this is (C#m)thrill (E)er,
