Streets of Philadelphia

~

I was bruised and battered, I couldn't
tell what I felt, I was
unrecognizable to myself
saw my reflection in a window, didn't
know my own face, oh brother
are you gonna leave me wasting away
on the streets of Philadelphia?

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
on the streets of Philadelphia

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 has fallen, I'm
lying awake, I can
feel myself fading away
so recieve me, brother, with your
faithless kiss, or will we
leave each other alone like this
on the streets of Philadelphia?
