I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in the window
I didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
In the streets of philadelphia
Ah
I
I
I
I
Ah
Ah
I walked the avenue
Till my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone at night
I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
In the streets of philadelphia
Ah ah
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walk a thousand miles just to save this skin
The night is falling and I'm lying 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
Ah ah
Ah
Boy
