Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She never should have rented this in the Mortal City
The comes though every crack she puts 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 lived a couple streets away, he listened, he had to say
She asked him up for dinner sometime, sometime was

The radio gave on the ice storm 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, they 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 door a blanket 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 were dark tonight
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 you can't see the sky
And you can't feel the
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 people are dying and nobody
We had all this technology, our dreams were 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 lonely here, so lonely, 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 city's one big town, the water 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 out the window and I think the city heard
I as one by one the lights went off
So could give their power to the hospital"

They ate in silence while she this over
They sat together in a dark in the Mortal City
Shifting in their blankets so they wouldn't get spaghetti on

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

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

She said, "I never have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes every crack I put my hand up to
The doesn't 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 happen in that bed tonight

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

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

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

And one thousand hearts by their bedsides
Saying my love in the white gown
We are not lost in the City
We are not lost in the City
