Spring Heeled Jack
Spring heeled Jack
Run, Rose Run!
Skeleton on the roof
Devil's on the lawn.
Jumping in the air
At the height of a shriek
The furthest Jack's flown,
Is the length of a scream.
Cobblestone sirens
Bobbies come to flog,
A demon in the wind-
A ghost of the marsh.
Two little jacks
Counting bucks in a row
One bounces back,
The other slits a throat.
Every corner turned,
Near the alley of the bells
Blue flame, white flame,
Bats out of Hell.
