Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have rented this in the Mortal City
The cold comes though crack she puts her hand up to
The radiator's 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 radio gave updates on the ice while she made the dinner
They from all the talk you shouldn't drive or even walk and this just in
We're everyone to turn off their 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 brave the streets
She met him at the door with a and a candle
Saying, "I it on the radio, I had to turn my power off"

He said, "You're not the only one, the were dark tonight
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 a city where you can't see the sky
And you can't the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling 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 were bold and vague
And one city got bad planners, one city got the plague"

He asked, "Why did you here?" She said, "For the job, for the job
And been so lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I don't even know 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 this because they love other people
They their secretaries, they want their power lunches"

"And think about tonight, I heard the same 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 this over
They sat together in a dark room in the City
in their blankets so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them

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

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

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

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

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

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

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