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
Till 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 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
::::::::::::::::::
