Tori Amos Streets Of Philadelphia Lyrics

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
on the streets of philadelphia

i walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
i heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
at night i could hear the blood in my veins
black and whispering as the rain
on the streets of philadelphia

ain't no angel gonna greet me
it's just you and i, my friend
clothes don't fit me no more
walked a thousand miles
walked a thousand miles
thousand miles
just to slip this skin

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
on the streets of philadelphia

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
brother, are you gonna leave me wastin' away
on the streets of philadelphia

on the streets of philadelphia
