i was bruised and battered
i couldn't
tell what i felt
i was
unrecognizable to myself
i saw my re flection in a window
i didn't
know my own face
oh brother are you
gonna leave me wastin away
on the streets of philadelphia
bracketed
i walked the avenue
til my legs
felt like stone
i heard
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
bracketed
ain't no angel gonna greet me
it's just you and i my friend
an'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
bracketed
