Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

And tonight was the date with 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 dinner sometime, was tonight

The gave updates 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 everyone to turn off their power, need it at the hospital

She ran around pulling plugs, 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 one, the streets were dark tonight
It was like century
With dim lamps and lighting 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 feeling that this city's dying"
He said, "It's not dying, the people who are dying"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They lay in bed, they to the pelting 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 beating at the hospital"

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