I was bruised and battered I couldn"t tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn"t know my own face
Oh Brother are you gonna leave me
wastin" away
On the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue "til my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain"t no angel gonna greet me
It"s just you and I my friend
My clothes don"t fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin
The night has fallen, I"m lyin" awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
