I was bruised and battered And i couldn't tell what i felt I was unrecognizable to myself
See my reflection in a window And i don't know my own face Oh brother, please don't leave me wastin' away On the streets of philadelphia...
I walk this avenue 'til my legs feel like stone I hear the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night i can hear the blood Runnin' through my veins Just as black and whispering as the rain On the streets of philadelphia... Philadelphia...
Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's just you and i, my friend These clothes, they don't fit me anymore I've walked a thousand miles and i wanna slip this skin
Night has fallen And i'm lyin' awake I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother With your faithful kiss Or we will leave each other alone like this On the streets of philadelphia... Philadelphia
