streets of philadelphia
I was bruised and battered And I couldn't 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 Just as black and whispery as the rain On the streets of Philadelphia Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's 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, I'm lyin' awake I can feel myself fadin' away So receive me brother with your faithless kiss Or will we leave each other alone like this On the streets of Philadelphia?
