Lyrics

My name is Leslie Anne Levine
 My mother birthed me down a dry ravine
 My mother birthed me far too soon
 Born at nine and dead at noon
 Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet
 And shake my rattled bone
 Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoat
 Of the girl who died with me
 ♪
 On the roof above the streets
 The only love I've known is a chimney sweep
 Lost and lodged inside a flue
 Back in 1842
 Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs
 And curse my mother's name
 Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mescalined
 Has brought this fate on me
 ♪
 My name is Leslie Anne Levine
 I've got no one left to mourn for me
 My body lies inside its grave
 In a ditch not far away
 Fifteen years gone, I still wander this parapet
 And shake my rattled bone
 Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoat
 Of the girl who died with me
 Who died with me
 Who died with me
 Who died with me
