Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

She should have rented this apartment in the Mortal City
The cold comes though every she puts her hand up to
The broken so she has to use electric heat

And tonight was the 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, was tonight

The gave updates 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 need it at the

She ran pulling 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 it on the radio, I had to turn my power 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 where 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 are dying and nobody cares
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 lonely here, so lonely, there's no one I can to
And I don't even your brother"

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

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

They ate in silence she thought this over
They sat in a dark room in the Mortal City
Shifting in their blankets so they get spaghetti on them

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

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 never should have rented this in the Mortal City
The cold comes through every I put my hand up to
The doesn't work, I have to use electric heat"

That settled it, they would 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, could barely move
They were wrapped up like ornaments waiting for another

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

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

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