Dirty Creature Lyrics - Singles - Split Enz

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
