Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have rented this in the Mortal City
The cold though every crack she puts 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 worked to
He lived a streets away, he listened, he had things to say
She asked him up for dinner sometime, sometime was

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

She ran pulling plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would 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 streets were tonight
It was like century
With dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a city where you see the sky
And you feel the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling this city's 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 bold and vague
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 and said, "Sometimes at night I walk out by the river
The city's one big town, the water turns it upside
People this city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, they want their lunches"

"And think about tonight, I 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 give their power to the hospital"

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

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

both 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 rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes through crack I put my hand up to
The doesn't work, I have 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 ever any of what would happen in that bed tonight

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

They lay in bed, they 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 beating
I hear one thousand beating at the hospital"

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