verse 1
I was bruised and battered and 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 wastin' away

chorus
On the streets of Philadelphia

verse 2
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain

chorus
On the streets of Philadelphia

bridge
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

verse 3
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

chorus
On the streets of Philadelphia
This song is from the album "Greatest Hits", "The Essential Bruce Springsteen" and "Collection: 1973-2012".
