"Upon the rooftops in dead of night/You'll hear me cry, I'll shake you from your sleep" sounds like something a ghost would say do. Being the ghost of an innocent orphaned child, he can't do much but wander and lament his fate. For bonus points, he hangs out with the cute ghost girls from Leslie Ann Levine ("On the roof above the streets/the only love I've known 's a chimney sweep"). * Leslie Ann Levine, by the Word of God takes place in the the world of We Both Go Down Together. We might have stumbled onto something huge here.
