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 acute;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
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 fading away
so receive me brother with your faithless kiss
or will we leave each other alone like this
on the streets of philadelphia |
