Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She should have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes though every crack she puts her up to
The broken so she has to use electric heat

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

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

She ran around plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said 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 turn my off"

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

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

She said, "Yes yes, I think the people are dying and cares
We had all this technology, our dreams bold 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 been so lonely here, so lonely, no one I can talk to
And I even know your brother"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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