Streets of Philadelphia

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 wispering

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
