Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold though every crack she puts her hand up to
The radiator's so she has to use electric heat

And tonight was the first date the brother
Of the guy she next 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 walk and this in
We're asking everyone to turn off their power, 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 with a blanket 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 were dark
It was another century
dim lamps and candles 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 feel the
I tell you something, I have this that this city's 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 this technology, our dreams were 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 know your brother"

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

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

They ate in silence while she this over
They sat together in a dark in the Mortal City
Shifting in their so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them

Then the awkward moment after dinner, what to do
The ice was still falling, the streets 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 should rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes through every crack I put my up to
The radiator doesn't work, I to use electric heat"

That it, they would both sleep in her bed, it was a matter of survival
She out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
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 waiting for another season

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

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

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