Lust he follows virtue close
C Em
Through the steaming woodlands

His darkened blood through bulging veins

Down the leafy pathway

Aah, ah, aah, ah
D Em
La-la-la-la-la-la
D Em D Em
The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
D Em D Em
And she knows by the sound of the baying, by the baying of the hounds
D Em
Diana Diana kick your feet up
D Em
Lust bears his teeth and whines
D Em
For he's picked up the scent of virtue
D Em/B D/A G D
And he knows the panic signs..............................
