my name is leslie ann levine 
my mother birthed me down a dry revine 
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 rattle bone 
fifteen years gone now 
i still cling to the petticoats 
of the girl who died with me 

on the roofs above the streets 
the only love i've knowns 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 ann 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 now 
i still wander this parapet 
and shake my rattle bone 
fifteen years gone now 
i still cling to the petticoats 
of the girl who died with me
