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 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
