I love that song, it has to be one of the most underrated pixies tunes, but can someone explain to me what the fuck it is on about?
(Bear in mind i do fully understand that not all songs hold a specific meaning, so no smart arse remarks please)

I know the lyrics are pretty vague.
I always heard them as:

A fish is fast, and Jimmy's cast.
Heeyyy Babe! (hang me?)
A white moon's hot, the other side's not. (He says this again in All Over the World....any connection?)
Heeyyy Babe!
It's not time for me to go.
It's not time for me to go.
My eyes have turned just the color of
the color of (diamond?)
just the color
the faded color of ice.
