Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

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 asked him up for dinner sometime, was tonight

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

She ran pulling plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said he would brave 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 were dark tonight
It was like another
With dim and candles lighting up the icy trees
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people a city where you can't see the sky
And you feel the ground?
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 think the people are dying and 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 lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can to
And I don't even your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at I walk out by the river
The city's one big town, the water turns it down
People this city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, 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 while she thought this over
They sat together in a dark room in the Mortal
in their blankets so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them

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

They both looked at the space where a would've been
She felt her stomach sink, she felt like she could 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 to use electric heat"

That settled it, they would both in her bed, it was a matter of survival
She out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
If there was ever any thought of would happen in that bed tonight

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

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

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

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