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 recieve me brother with your faithless kiss

or will we leave each other alone like this

on the streets of philadelphia
