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
This is
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 Philadelph
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
This is
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 Philadelph
