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
  So brother don't leave me
  On the streets of Philadelphia
    I walk the avenue 'til my legs feel like stone
  I heard voices of friend vanished and gone
  At night I hear the blood in my veins
  Just as black and wispy 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
  Thousand miles just to slip this skin (?)
    Night has fallen, I'm flying away
  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
