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, 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 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 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 fadin' away

So receive me, brother, with your faithless kiss

Or will we leave each other alone like this

On the streets of Philadelphia?
