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 broken so she has to use electric heat

And tonight was the first 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 radio gave updates on the ice while she made the dinner
said 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 said that he would the streets
She met him at the door with a blanket and a
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 lighting up the icy trees
And the clouds and a moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a where you can't see the sky
And you can't the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling that 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 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 so lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can talk to
And I don't 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, want their power lunches"

"And think about tonight, I the same newscast you did
I unplugged everything, I 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 she thought this over
They sat together in a room in the Mortal City
in their blankets so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them

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

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

She said, "I never should have this apartment in the Mortal City
The comes through every crack I put my hand up to
The radiator work, I have to use electric heat"

That settled it, would 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

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

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

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

And one thousand by their bedsides waiting
Saying that's my in the white gown
We are not in the Mortal City
We are not in the Mortal City
