Special thanks to ladyjayes.com and Streets Of Philadelphia



I was bruised and battered and I couldnt tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didnt know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenues till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of my friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadephia

1925 (West on Eddy St. from Jones St. May 1925)

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont 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
