I was bruised
and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognisable
to myself
Saw my reflection
in the window
Didn't know my
own face oh brother
Gonna leave me wastin'
away in the
streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue
till my legs felt
like stone
I heard voices of friends
vanished and gone
I can hear the blood
in my veins
Just as black and
whispering as
the rain in the
streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel
gonna greet me
Just you and I
my friend
And my clothes don't
fit me no more
And I'd walk a
thousand miles just
to slip this skin
Night is falling
and I'm lying awake
I can feel myself
fading away
So receive me brother
with your faithless kiss
So we leave each other
alone like this on the
streets of Philadelphia
