Luyện nghe bài hát Mortal City

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

And tonight was the first date the brother
Of the guy she worked to
He lived a couple away, he listened, he had things to say
She him up for dinner sometime, 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 everyone to off their power, they need it at the hospital

She ran around pulling plugs, she called him up
Maybe now shouldn't meet, he said that he would brave the streets
She met him at the door with a 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 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 where you can't see the sky
And you can't feel the
I tell you something, I have this feeling this city's 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 this technology, our 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 lonely here, so lonely, no one I can talk to
And I don't know your brother"

He smiled and said, "Sometimes at night I walk out by the
The city's one big town, the turns it upside down
People found this city because they love people
want 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 think the city
I watched as one by one the lights off
So they give their power to the hospital"

They ate in silence while she thought this
They sat together in a dark room in the Mortal
Shifting in their blankets so they wouldn't get on them

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

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

She said, "I never should rented this apartment 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, would both sleep in her bed, it was a matter of survival
She out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
If there was ever any of what would happen in that bed tonight

There was no question now, they barely move
They were wrapped up ornaments waiting for another 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 hearing
I hear the neighbors upstairs, I hear my beating
I hear one thousand hearts at the hospital"

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