[Verse 1: The Shepherd]

I can't say I've always been honest

You can't say I've done a disservice

The girl, she's just a child

She's got a lot to learn, and I'm helping out

[Pre-Chorus: The Observer]

Your deceit is under your wing

You won't let her go

You know it's not appropriate

Into the fold, into the fold

[Chorus]

But all that hair, and porcelain

You swear it's more than mere lust

Into the fold, into the fold

[Verse 2]

If she knew what you do

The pristine routine to fool the rube

The gentle gentleman, the loathed Lothario

You feign you've changed your ways

But we know, yeah, we know

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't you quell this need for submissives?

[The Shepherd] Oh, such lovely girls

To lead each other, tender little lamb

[Chorus]

Into the fold, into the fold

And you, my pet, the sweetest yet

I'll hold you closest to my heart

Into the fold, into the fold, into the fold, into the fold, into the fold

[Bridge: The Lamb]

I was in the student union

Studying for an English quiz

He came up and asked directions

To the new auditorium

We walked up and down the campus

No one had ever heard of it

He was so embarrassed when he realized

He had the wrong college

He offered to buy us coffee

For the time and effort wasted

We drank and talked for so long

We started making plans for dinner

[Outro: The Shepherd]

She was young and impressionable

I pretended to need directions

She led me all over the campus

All the while I'm asking her questions

She agreed to have a cup of coffee

That's when I started to lay it on heavy

Once she learned I studied Dostoevsky

It was in the bag
