Split Enz Dirty Creature
Dirty creature comin' my way from the bottom of a big black lake
Shuffles up to my window makin' sure I'm awake
It's probably gonna pick my brain, got me in a vice-like grip
He said one slip, you're dead, ha
Dirty creature of habit, little horror here to stay
Anyone in his right mind would tell it to go away
But the river of dread runs deep, full of unspeakable things
The creature don't mess around, I don't wanna mess with him
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight
Dirty creatures got me at a disadvantage from the inside
Tentacles on the brain keep me from falling asleep
I'm rooted to the spot, the beast don't know when to stop
Sneakin' up from behind, binds and gags my wits
Dirty creature got my head exactly where he wants it
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight
Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright, yeah
Even as we speak the dirty creature springs a nasty surprise
Dirty creature knows my type, found it in a magazine
He's seen the look of fear before splattered all over the screen
The animal magnet thug draws me out of myself
I need a dragon-slayer who can save me from myself
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
I don't wanna set sail for the middle of nowhere tonight
Dirty creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside
I don't wanna sail upon the waters of invention tonight
