Imogen Heap - Thriller

Copied!

{Verse 1}
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

{Chorus}
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight

{Verse 2}
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhеre left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wondеr if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination (Girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin’ up behind
You're out of time

{Chorus}
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight

{Bridge}
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
This is the end of your life

{Verse 3}
They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

{Chorus}
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller
Thriller, here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller (Ow)

{Outro}
Tonight
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Gonna thrill you tonight

Biography

edit bio

Imogen Heap is an English singer-songwriter and composer. Best known for her work as part of the musical duo Frou Frou and her solo albums, she writes, produces and mixes all of her music.

Heap’s debut album iMegaphone (an anagram of her name) was released in 1998 before her 2002 collaboration with Guy Sigsworth on the Frou Frou album Details. She returned to her solo career in 2005 with the self-produced Speak for Yourself carrying her perhaps most well known hits “Headlock”, “Goodnight and Go”, and the infamous “Hide and Seek (Whatcha Say)”.

After refurbishing her family home – including the installation of a studio in her old playroom – Heap released third album Ellipse. It was a North American chart success that earned Heap two Grammy nominations, winning Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical in recognition of her technical and engineering work on the record. In 2010 she also received the British Academy’s Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement.

However, the cycle of “go into the studio for just over a year, don’t talk to anyone, release a record, tour and do it all over again” was beginning to have a detrimental effect on Heap and so she began to stray from this format with fourth album Sparks. Originally releasing a new song every 2 months with an accompanying video, the album took Heap almost all around the work to compose its 14 tracks. The eventual release was delayed many times, but the album made it out in time to accompany the Reverb 2014 festival which Heap curated at the London Roundhouse.

In 2014 Heap had daughter Florence Scout Rosie Heap-Lebor which deterred her from touring in support of Sparks. This time away from the industry resulted in the production of single “Tiny Human” in 2015 in combination with Heap’s mission to improve the music industry through blockchain technology. Heap’s most recent release, “The Happy Song”, is also inspired by her daughter.

Most recently towards the end of 2016, Heap posted a blog about going “underground” where she gave details of her plans for the future including both tour and preference for fixing the music industry as opposed to releasing records.
