I was bruised and battered and I couldn't

tell what I felt I was

unrecognizable to myself

Saw my reflection in a window

I didn't know my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me

Wasting 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

Just as 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

And 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
