Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should rented this 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 date with the brother
Of the guy she next 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 on the ice storm while she made the dinner
They from all the talk you shouldn't drive or even walk and this just in
We're asking to turn off their power, they need it at the hospital

She ran pulling plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he that he would brave the streets
She met him at the with a blanket 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 were 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 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, it's the who are dying"

She said, "Yes yes, I think the people are 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 I've been so here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I don't even know brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at I walk out by the river
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 the same newscast you did
I everything, I looked out the window and I think the city heard
I watched as one by one the went off
So could give their power to the hospital"

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

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

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 rented this apartment in the Mortal 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 brought out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks,
If there was ever any thought of what 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 you liked this 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 beating at the hospital"

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