I was bruised and battered and I couldnt 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 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

Black and whispering as the rain

On the streets of philadelphia


Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend

My clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin


The night has fallen, Im lyinawake
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
