[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 direction
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
