I was bruised and battered and I couldnt tell
what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didnt 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
black and whispering as the rain
on the streets of philadelphia
aint no angel gonna greet me
its just you and I my friend
my clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin
the night has fallen, 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?
