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
