Dirty Creature (T Finn, N Griggs & N Finn) 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, your 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 Creature's 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
 Sneaking 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 (Yeah)
  I don't wanna sail upon the waters of invention tonight

 [a Taniwha is a New Zealand dragon/sea monster type "dirty creature"]
