i was bruised and battered i couldn t tell what i feel 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 goneat 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 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
