I was bruised and battered
and 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 gonna leave me Wastin'
away On the streets of
Philadelphia
I walked the avenue till
my legs felt like stone
I heard 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
