I was bruised and battered I couldn't tellWhat I feltI was unrecognizable to myselfI saw my reflection in a window I didn't knowMy own faceOh brother are you gonna leave meWastin' awayOn the streets of PhiladelphiaI walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stoneI heard the voices of friends vanished and goneAt night I could hear the blood in my veinsBlack and whispering as the rainOn the streets of PhiladelphiaAin't no angel gonna greet meIt's just you and I my friendMy clothes don't fit me no moreI walked a thousand milesJust to slip this skinThe night has fallenI'm lyin' awakeI can feel myself fading awaySo receive me brother with your faithless kissOr will we leave each other alone like thisOn the streets of Philadelphia
