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 with the brother
Of the guy she worked to
He a couple streets away, he listened, he had things to say
She asked him up for sometime, sometime was tonight

The radio gave updates on the ice storm while she made the
They said from all the talk you shouldn't drive or even and this just in
We're everyone to turn 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 that he would 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 streets dark tonight
It was another century
dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy trees
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a where you can't see the sky
And you can't feel the
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 are dying and nobody cares
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 know your brother"

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

ate in silence while she thought this over
They sat together in a room in the Mortal City
Shifting in their blankets so they get spaghetti on them

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

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

She said, "I never have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The comes through every crack I put my hand up to
The radiator work, I have 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 there was ever any thought of what happen in that bed tonight

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

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

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

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