Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt I was unrecognizable to myself Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me wastin' away [Chorus] On the streets of Philadelphia? [Verse 2] I walked the avenue 'til 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 whispering as the rain [Chorus] On the streets of Philadelphia [Post-Chorus] Ain't no angel gonna greet me It's just you and I, my friend And my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] On the streets of Philadelphia?
