Streets of Philadelphia

I was bruised and battered

I couldn't tell what I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

I saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own

face

Oh, brother are you going to 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 going to 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

Night is falling and I'm lying 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
