Dirty Creature come my way, from the bottom of a big black lake
D        E        D  E    D      E        D E
Shuffles up to my window, making sure I'm awake
  A        B          A  B      A      B         A    B
S'probably gonna pick my brain, got me in a vice-like grip

Dirty Creature of habit, Little horror here to stay
D  E          D     E          D       E     D E
Anyone in his right mind would tell it to go away
        A     B        A    B     A       B       A   B
But the river of dread runs deep, full of unspeakable things
    D        E          D E     D       E          D    E
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

Tentacles on the brain keep me from falling asleep
D   E         D   E         D     E               D  E
I'm rooted to the spot, The beast don't know when to stop
A        B       A B     A     B        A  B
Sneaking up from behind, Binds and gags my wits

Dirty Creature got my head exactly where he wants it

Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright

He's seen the look of fear before, splattered all over the screen
    A  B      A   B    A     B         A B
The animal magnet thug draws me out of myself
  D    E      D E              D    E       D E
I need a dragon-slayer who can save me from myself
