Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have rented this apartment in the City
The cold comes though every she puts her hand 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 away, he listened, he had things to say
She asked him up for dinner sometime, sometime was

The radio updates on the ice storm while she made the dinner
They 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 pulling plugs, then she him up
now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would brave the streets
She met him at the with 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 were dark tonight
It was like another
With dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy
And the clouds and a moon"

She said, "What of people make a city where you can't see the sky
And you can't feel the
I tell you something, I have 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 cares
We had all this technology, our were 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 so lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I don't even know brother"

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

"And think tonight, I heard the same newscast you did
I unplugged everything, I looked out the 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 thought this
They sat together in a dark in the Mortal 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 still dangerous
The cabs were not and this neighborhood was not the greatest

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

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

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

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

lay in bed, they listened 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 the neighbors upstairs, I hear my heart beating
I hear one thousand hearts at the hospital"

And one hearts by their bedsides waiting
that's my love in the white gown
We are not lost in the City
We are not in the Mortal City
