I was.. bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt..
I was, unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in the window,
Didn't know my own face
.. O brother.. gonna leave me wasting away..
In the streets of Philadelphia..

I walk the avenue till my legs, feel 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..

Ain't no angel gonna greet me... it's just you and I my friend..
And my clothes don't fit me no more.. a thousand miles, just to slip the skin..

Night has fallen and I'm.. lying awake...
I can feel myself.. fading away..
So receive me, brother.. with your faithless kiss,
Or will we, leave each other alone like this,
In the streets of Philadelphia..
