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 `til my legs felt like stone
I heard the 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
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 Philadelphia
