Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have rented this apartment in the City
The comes though every crack she puts her hand up to
The broken so she has to use electric heat

And tonight was the date with the brother
Of the guy she next to
He a couple streets away, he listened, he had things to say
She asked him up for dinner sometime, was tonight

The radio gave updates on the ice storm she made the dinner
They said from all the talk you shouldn't drive or even and this just in
We're asking everyone to turn off power, they need it at the hospital

She ran around pulling plugs, she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would the streets
She met him at the door with a blanket and a
Saying, "I heard it on the radio, I had to turn my off"

He said, "You're not the only one, the streets were tonight
It was like century
With dim lamps and lighting up the icy trees
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a where you can't see the sky
And you feel the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling that this dying"
He said, "It's not dying, the people who are dying"

She said, "Yes yes, I think the people are and nobody cares
We had all this technology, our dreams were and vague
And then one got bad planners, one city got the plague"

He asked, "Why did you here?" She said, "For the job, for the job
And I've so lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I even know your brother"

He and said, "Sometimes at night I walk out by the river
The one big town, the water turns it upside down
found this city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, want their power lunches"

"And think about tonight, I heard the same you did
I unplugged everything, I out the window and I think the city heard
I watched as one by one the went off
So they could their power to the hospital"

They ate in silence while she this over
They sat together in a dark in the Mortal City
Shifting in their so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them

Then came the awkward after dinner, what to do
The ice was still falling, the were still dangerous
The cabs not running and this neighborhood was not the greatest

They looked at the space where a couch would've been
She felt her stomach sink, she felt like she could think

She said, "I never should have rented this in the Mortal City
The cold comes through crack I put my hand up to
The radiator doesn't work, I to use electric heat"

settled it, they would both sleep in her bed, it was a matter of survival
She brought out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks,
If there was any thought of what would happen in that bed tonight

There was no question now, they could barely
They were wrapped up like ornaments for another season

They lay in bed, listened to the pelting ice
He said, "My brother's not a bad guy, just quiet
I wished you this city", she said, "Maybe I do"

"I think I have a special kind of tonight
I the neighbors upstairs, I hear my heart beating
I hear one hearts beating at the hospital"

And one thousand hearts by their bedsides
Saying my love in the white gown
We are not lost in the City
We are not lost in the City
