Streets of Philadelphia Songtext
von Molly Johnson

I was bruised and battered
I couldn′t tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face
Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me?
Wasting away on the streets of Philadelphia

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, dum, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, bam, bam, bam
Baby dum, dum, dum
Ooh

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
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia


Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, my, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no, no
Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There 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

The night has fallen, I′m lying 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

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no, no
On the streets of Philadelphia

Not alone like this
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, on the streets of Philadelphia


No, no, no, no
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Not alone like this, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
