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
so 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 voices of friends
vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood
in my veins
this is 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'd walk 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
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
so 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 voices of friends
vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood
in my veins
this is 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'd walk 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
