Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

And tonight was the first with the brother
Of the guy she worked to
He lived a couple streets away, he listened, he had to say
She him up for dinner sometime, sometime was tonight

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

She ran pulling plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now 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
With dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy
And the and a covered moon"

She said, "What kind of people make a where you can't see the sky
And you feel the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling that this dying"
He said, "It's not dying, the people 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 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 one big town, the water turns it upside down
People found this city they love other people
They their secretaries, they want their power lunches"

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

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

Then came the awkward moment after dinner, 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 felt her sink, she felt like she could hardly think

She said, "I should have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes through every 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 out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
If there was ever any thought of what happen in that bed tonight

There was no question now, they 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 you liked this city", she said, "Maybe I do"

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

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