Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

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

The radio gave updates on the ice storm while she the dinner
They said from all the talk you shouldn't drive or walk 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 brave the
She met him at the door with a blanket and a
Saying, "I heard it on the radio, I had to my power off"

He said, "You're not the only one, the streets were dark
It was another century
With dim and candles lighting up the icy trees
And the clouds and a moon"

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

She said, "Yes yes, I think the people are dying and nobody
We had all this technology, our dreams were bold and
And then one city got bad planners, one 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 city's one big town, the turns it upside down
People found city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, they their power lunches"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And one thousand hearts by bedsides waiting
Saying that's my love in the gown
We are not lost in the Mortal
We are not lost in the Mortal
