Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

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

She ran around plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they meet, he said that 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 turn my off"

He said, "You're not the only one, the streets were dark
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 where you see the sky
And you can't feel the
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 are dying and nobody cares
We had all technology, our dreams were bold and vague
And then one city got bad planners, one 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 even know your brother"

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

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

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

They both looked at the space where a couch been
She her stomach sink, she felt like she could hardly think

She said, "I never should have this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes every crack I put my hand up to
The radiator doesn't work, I have to use 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 could barely
They wrapped up like ornaments waiting for another season

They lay in bed, they listened to the ice
He said, "My brother's not a bad guy, he's quiet
I you liked this 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 one thousand hearts beating at the hospital"

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