|
I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell |
|
what I felt |
|
I was unrecognizable to myself |
|
Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know |
|
my own face |
|
Oh 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 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 fading away |
|
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss |
|
or will we leave each other alone like this |
|
On the streets of Philadelphia |
