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
