Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She should have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes though crack she puts her hand up to
The radiator's broken so she has to use electric

And tonight was the first date 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 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
now they shouldn't meet, he said that 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 my power off"

He said, "You're not the only one, the streets were dark
It was another century
With dim lamps and lighting up the icy trees
And the clouds and a moon"

She said, "What kind of make a city where you can't see the sky
And you can't the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling that this dying"
He said, "It's not dying, the people who are dying"

She said, "Yes yes, I the people are dying and nobody cares
We had all technology, our dreams 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 been so lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can to
And I even know your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at I walk out by the river
The city's one big town, the water turns it upside
People found this city because they love people
They their secretaries, they want their power lunches"

"And think about tonight, I heard the newscast you did
I unplugged everything, I looked out the and I think the city heard
I watched as one by one the went off
So they could give their to the hospital"

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

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

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

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

That settled it, they 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

was no question now, they could barely move
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 neighbors upstairs, I hear my heart
I hear one thousand hearts at the hospital"

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