Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in the window
I didn't know my own face
Oh, brother, you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I walked the avenue
Till my legs felt like stone
Heard the voices of friends
Vanish and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
And it was black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Just you and I, my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
A thousand miles just to slip the skin
[Verse 6]
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
And I can feel myself fade away
And so, receive me, brother
With your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia?
[Verse 7]
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, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
