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 So 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 'til 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 So 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
