Lust he follows virtue close
Gb A#m
Through the steaming woodlands
A#m
His darkened blood through bulging veins
Gb A#m
Through the steaming woodlands
A#m .......
Aah, aah
A#m
Virtue knows he follows softly
Gb A#m
Through the steaming woodlands
A#m
Travel light the deathly shudder
Gb A#m
Down the leafy pathway
A#m ................
Aah, ah, aah, ah
Ab A#m
La-la-la-la-la-la
Ab A#m Ab A#m
The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
Ab A#m Ab A#m
And she knows by the sound of the baying, by the baying of the hounds
Ab A#m
Diana Diana kick your feet up
Ab A#m
Lust bears his teeth and whines
Ab A#m
For he's picked up the scent of virtue
Ab A#m/F Ab/D# Db Ab
And he knows the panic signs..............................
