I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
Didn't know my own face
So brother don't leave me
On the streets of Philadelphia
I walk the avenue 'till my legs feel like stone
I heard voices of friend vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and wispy 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
Thousand miles just to slip this skin
Night has fallen, I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your fateless kiss
or will we leave each other alone like this?
On the streets of Philadelphia
I couldn't tell what I felt

I heard voices of friend vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and wispy 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
Thousand miles just to slip this skin
Night has fallen, I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
