Streets of Philadelphia

I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face

Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me wasting away

On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone

I heard 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 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 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
