Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have this apartment in the Mortal 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 first with the brother
Of the guy she next to
He lived a 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, they need it at the

She ran around plugs, then 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 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 streets dark tonight
It was like century
With dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy
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 this feeling that this 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 nobody
We had all this technology, our 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 don't know your brother"

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

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

They ate in silence while she thought 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 moment after dinner, what to do
The ice was falling, the streets were still dangerous
The cabs not running and this neighborhood was not the greatest

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

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

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

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

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

"I I have a special kind of hearing tonight
I the neighbors upstairs, I hear my heart beating
I one thousand 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 City
We are not lost in the Mortal
