Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

And tonight was the first 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 while she made the
said from all the talk you shouldn't drive or even walk and this just in
We're asking everyone to off their power, they need it at the hospital

She ran around plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they meet, he said that he would brave the streets
She met him at the door a blanket and a candle
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 lamps and candles up the icy trees
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a city you can't see the sky
And you can't feel the
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 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 been so here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I don't know your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at night I 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 newscast you did
I unplugged everything, I looked out the window and I think the heard
I as one by one the lights went off
So they 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 their blankets so they get spaghetti on them

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

They both looked at the space where a couch been
She felt her sink, she felt like she could hardly think

She said, "I never should have rented this apartment in the Mortal
The comes through every crack I put my hand up to
The radiator work, I have to use electric heat"

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

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

They lay in bed, they listened to the 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 a special kind of hearing tonight
I hear the upstairs, I hear my heart beating
I one thousand hearts beating at the hospital"

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