Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

The radio gave updates on the ice storm while she 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
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said he would brave the streets
She met him at the door with a 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 dark tonight
It was like century
With dim lamps and candles up the icy trees
And the clouds and a moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a city where you see the sky
And you can't the ground?
I tell you something, I have this 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 nobody
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 know your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at night I walk out by the
The city's one big town, the water turns it upside
People found this city because they 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 window and I the city heard
I watched as one by one the lights off
So could give their power to the hospital"

They ate in silence she thought this 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 moment after dinner, what to do
The ice was falling, the streets were still dangerous
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 felt like she could think

She said, "I never should rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes through every 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 move
They wrapped up like ornaments waiting for another season

lay in bed, they listened to the pelting ice
He said, "My brother's not a bad guy, he's just
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 beating
I hear one thousand hearts at the hospital"

And one thousand hearts by their waiting
Saying my love in the white gown
We are not lost in the Mortal
We are not in the Mortal City
