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

On the streets of Philadelphia
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na

Walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
Heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night, I could hear the blood in my veins
It was just as black and whispering as the rain

On the streets of Philadelphia
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I, my friend
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 receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this

On the streets of Philadelphia
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
