00:30
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 'til my legs felt like stone,
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone,
At 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 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?
