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 wasting-like-this
on the streets of Philadelphia

(lie lie lie lah lie lie lie lah lie…)

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I hear the blood in my veins
just as black and whispery as the rain
on the streets of Philadelphia

(lie lie lie lah lie lie lie lah lie... )

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

The night is falling, I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
will we leave each other alone like this
on the streets of Philadelphia...
