lyrics

For his 26th birthday you gave him a pair of beat up shoes
& told him to run away until the soles wore through
He honoured your word, and he left you with a song

Of the tempest, the vipers and the moon

It was 26 days until your man ran out of time
All the clothes, they melted off his hide
You pulled him from the brink, and you offered up a song

Of the tempest, the vipers and the moon

And he
Ain't gonna do you no harm
But you
Don't wanna have his kind of fun
Have his kind of fun

26 miles from here, you met a spectre on the grass
Laying on his shadow in song
He said leave the things that you don't say, and the chances you don't take

For the tempest, the vipers and the moon

And he
Ain't gonna do you no harm
But you
Don't wanna have his kind of fun
Have his kind of fun

Neither of you ever learned to cry
No-one taught you how
