Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

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

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

She ran around plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would 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 dark tonight
It was like another
With dim and candles lighting up the icy trees
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 this feeling that city's dying"
He said, "It's not dying, it's the who are dying"

She said, "Yes yes, I the people are dying and nobody cares
We had all this technology, our dreams were 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 lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can to
And I don't know your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at night I walk out by the
The one big town, the water turns it upside down
found this city because they love other people
They want secretaries, they 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 city
I watched as one by one the lights off
So they could give their to the hospital"

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

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

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

She said, "I never should have rented this apartment in the City
The cold comes through crack 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 out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
If there was ever any of what would happen in that bed tonight

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

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

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

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