| I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt | I walked the avenue 'till my legs felt like stone |
| I was unrecognizable to myself | I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone |
| I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know my own face | At night I could hear the blood in my veins |
| Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away | Black and whispering as the rain |
| On the streets of Philadelphia | On the streets of Philadelphia |
| Ain't no angel gonna greet me | The night has fallen, I'm lyin awake |
| It's just you and I my friend | I can feel myself fading away |
| My clothes don't fit me no more | So receive me brother with your faithless kiss |
| I walked a thousand miles | Or will we leave each other alone like this |
| Just to slip this skin | On the streets of Philadelphia |
