Arms of a Thief Lyrics

I'm pretty sure that the line "tapping at the air with her heel" is actually "dabbing at the arrow in her heel". The 'arrow in her heel' refers to the weak spot (prostitution) that will eventually cause her downfall/death. (famous reference from The Iliad by Homer)

A few other lyric websites use this revision of that line. If you listen to the song, it sounds more like it.
