Lyrics

Dirty creature come my way
 From the bottom of a big black lake
 Shuffles up to my window
 Making sure I'm awake
 S'probably gonna pick my brain
 Got me in a vice like grip
 He said one slip
 You're dead, huh
 Dirty creature of habit
 Little horror here to stay
 Anyone in his right mind
 Would tell it to go awaym hey
 But the river of dread runs deep
 Full of unspeakable things
 The creature don't mess around
 I don't wanna mess with him
 CHORUS
 I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
 I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight
 Dirty creature's got me at a
 Disadvantage from the inside
 Save me
 It's a dirty
 Tentacles on the brain
 Keep me from falling asleep
 I'm rooted to the spot
 The beast don't know when to stop
 Sneaking up from behind
 Binds and gags my wits
 Dirty creature got my head
 Exactly where he wants it
 CHORUS
 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, oo
 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
 Yeah, oo
 I don't wanna sail
 Upon the waters of invention tonight
 Get away
 Dirty creature
 Ah
 Do again
 Stay away, OK?
 Scared of the dark
 Scared of the dark
 Always had this fear of the dark
 Ever since I can remember
 Had to leave the door open and the light on when I sleep
 'Cause that's when the creature creeps
 He creeps in the dark
 He comes down the hall
 He turns the corner
 And my heart sinks
 And I, I know that he is a slime
 And he has a stink and a stench
 Of the flilth that reins within
 And you have to tell him where to go
 Or you're going to be in big trouble for a long time
 You have to say, "Dirty creature
 just go"
 And be firm, don't accept his terms
 'Cause he's a bad one, he's a bad one
 He's a-makin' a sad one of you and me, dirty creature
 Crazy man who's in the side
 He's lookin' good, he's dressin' sharp
 He's got a mouth that plays like a harp
 Who talks to you, caresses you
 The words are bait, and everything's amazing
 Wanna say to him, "go"
 Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
 Tim: Aw, come on, come on, none of that. Neil's a married man. Now me, on the other hand.
