Replay by Sean Kingston Thriller by Michael Jackson Fireflies by Owl City
Shawty's like a melody in my head It's close to midnight and something evil's You would not believe your eyes
That I can't keep out, got me lurking in the dark If ten million fireflies
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that Lit up the world as I fell asleep
singin' like almost stops your heart
Na, na, na, na everyday You try to scream but terror takes the
It's like my iPod's stuck on replay, sound before you make it 'Cause they'd fill the open air
replay You start to freeze as horror looks you And leave teardrops everywhere
right between the eyes You'd think me rude
You're paralyzed But I would just stand and stare
Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall with your 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night I'd like to make myself believe
friend And no one's gonna save you from the That planet Earth turns slowly
I was scared to approach you beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
But then you came closer You're fighting for your life inside a killer, Awake when I'm asleep
Hopin' you would give me a thriller tonight 'Cause everything is never as it seems
chance
Who would have ever knew You hear the door slam and realize 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
That we would ever be more than there's nowhere left to run From ten thousand lightning bugs
You feel the cold hand and wonder if As they tried to teach me how to dance
friends you'll ever see the sun
We're real worldwide, breakin' all You close your eyes and hope that this is
just imagination, girl! A foxtrot above my head
the rules
But all the while you hear the creature A sock hop beneath my bed
She like a song played again and
creeping up behind A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
again You're out of time
That girl like somethin' off a I'd like to make myself believe
poster Night creatures calling, the dead start to That planet Earth turns slowly
That girl is a dime they say walk in their masquerade
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien
That girl is a gun to my holster Awake when I'm asleep
this time
She's runnin' through my mind all (They're open wide) 'Cause everything is never as it seems
day, hey This is the end of your life When I fall asleep

See you been all around the globe They're out to get you, there's demons Leave my door open just a crack
closing in on every side (Please take me away from here)
Not once did you leave my mind They will possess you unless you change
We talk on the phone 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
that number on your dial
(Please take me away from here)
From night till the morn Now is the time for you and I to cuddle
close together, yeah Why do I tire of counting sheep
Girl, you really change my life
All through the night I'll save you from the (Please take me away from here)
Doin' things I never do When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
terror on the screen
I'm in the kitchen' cookin' things I'll make you see
she likes To ten million fireflies
We're real worldwide, breakin' all (I'm gonna thrill ya tonight) I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
the rules Darkness falls across the land
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
The midnight hour is close at hand
Someday I wanna make you my Creatures crawl in search of blood
wife To terrorize y'alls neighborhood But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
I can be your melody The foulest stench is in the air 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a
The funk of forty thousand years jar
Oh girl, I could write you a And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
symphony Are closing in to seal your doom I'd like to make myself believe
The one that could fill your That planet Earth turns slowly
fantasies And though you fight to stay alive It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
So come, baby girl, let's sing with Your body starts to shiver Awake when I'm asleep
For no mere mortal can resist Because my dreams are bursting at the
me, hey The evil of the thriller seams
