Philadelphia Lyrics

 

Philadelphia - Wildlife

I was bruised and battered

I couldn't tell what I felt

 

I was unrecognizable to myself

 

Saw my reflection in a window

And didn't know my own face

 

Oh brother are you gonna

Leave me wastin' like this

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 hear the

Blood it's in my veins

 

Just as black and

Whispering as the rain

On the streets of Philadelphia

 

On the streets of Philadelphia

 

Ain't no angel gonna greet me

 

It's just you and I my friend

 

And my clothes don't fit me no more

A what a thousand miles

 

Just to slip this skin

 

The Night has fallen

And 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

 

 

On the streets of Philadelphia
