Halloween Boat

I'm in my halloween boat with a hole in my heart the size of a girl

Pacific postman, 30 west by 50 east on a black sea that joins up countries

My life is one second slow ' says here on my watch ' that's how i know

I'm a map-pin on a dead sea marking out 30 west by 50 east

On the off-chance that anyone should wish to know

A trail of letters waltz on the tide back to maritime plaza from my halloween boat

And it's so cold, you can hear the moon

My life is one second slow ' says here on my watch ' that's how i know

There's a hole in my heart the size of a girl ' 30 by 50

In my pocket, a letter ' a "let's make it better" note

But i'm all out at sea, asking the harbour to come this way, closer, to swallow me

And there's a hole in this boat the size of a star that i plug with the letter

The "let's make it better." a peep show for jesus. He looks through the stars
