But she never climbs, 'cause her heels are on springs
Bounces off the wreckage that her chaos always brings
All that motion, but never the ascent
Every dollar printed red with the blood of someone spent

Spring-Heeled Jill
She's a hell of a hill
But she doesn't know Jack
Just a knife in the back
And never paying the bill
Ain't no nursery rhyme
Just a Jill and her climb
And a time on the town
Till you're tumbling down!

I ain't guessing, I'm a witness, got the receipts and that scar
Rode the whole ride to the summit with no gas in the car
Held my hand up on that hillside, said we'd take the top together
Felt the shove between my shoulders, felt the tug of leather tether
Watched you push me off the edge and then quickly act surprised
Practiced sorry, borrowed tears, the excuse you memorized
But I caught the ledge, I climbed it, and I made the peak alone
While you're springing down the mountain with a knife made outta' bone

But she never climbs, 'cause her heels are on springs
And another song that the liar always sings
Landing on a nowhere where she's spending it all
Watching the victim as he's taking her fall

You wanted me GONE
And smiled while you sharpened that bone
Said it was LOVE
Queen of Heartless as I pay for your throne 
I'm still standing on the hill you dug my grave in
I'm still walking on the road of rage you're pavin'

Spring-Heeled Jill
She's a hell of a hill
But she doesn't know Jack
Just a knife in the back
And never paying the bill
Ain't no nursery rhyme
Just a Jill and her climb
And the whole town sees it now
With the where and the how

SPRING-HEELED JILL

Watch her work the room like a girl with no fear Tells you lies you wanna hear till its all crystal clear A chameleon on cue, steals your face and calls it "you" Laughs a half a second late 'cause she's checking what to do Different story every table, same collateral death Skips the tab and calls it charm, calls it catching her breath You pay it and you thank her as you call her a cab 'Cause the leech has got a halo and the scar has got a scab But she never climbs, 'cause her heels are on springs Bounces off the wreckage that her chaos always brings All that motion, but never the ascent Every dollar printed red with the blood of someone spent Spring-Heeled Jill She's a hell of a hill But she doesn't know Jack Just a knife in the back And never paying the bill Ain't no nursery rhyme Just a Jill and her climb And a time on the town Till you're tumbling down!
