Dirty Creature

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.
