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
