Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

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

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

She ran around pulling plugs, then she him up
Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would brave the
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 tonight
It was like century
dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy trees
And the and a covered 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 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 and nobody cares
We had all this technology, our dreams were bold and
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 lonely here, so lonely, 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 city's one big town, the water turns it upside
People this city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, they their power lunches"

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

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

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

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

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 doesn't work, I have to use heat"

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

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

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

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

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