Mortal City
(专辑: Mortal City - 1996)
She never should have rented this apartment in the
mortal city The
cold comes though every crack she puts her hand up to The
radiator's broken, so she has to use electric heat And tonight was the
first date with the
brother of the
guy she worked next to He lived a
couple streets away, he listened, he had things to say She asked him up for dinner sometime, sometime was tonight The
radio 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 this just in, we're asking everyone to turn out their power They need it at the
hospital She ran around pulling plugs, then she called him up Maybe now they shouldn't meet, he said that he would brave the
streets She met him at the
door with a
blanket and a
candle Saying, "I heard it on the
radio, I
had to turn my power off" He said, "You're not the
only one, the
streets were dark tonight It was like another century With dim lamps and candles lighting up the
icy trees and the
clouds and a
covered moon" She said, "What kind of people make a
city Where you can't see the
sky and you can't feel the
ground? I
tell you something, I
have this feeling that this city's dying" He said, "It's not dying, it's the
people who are dying" She said, "Yes, yes, I
think the
people are dying and nobody cares "We got all this technology, our dreams bold and vague And then one city got bad planners One city got the
plague" He asked, "Why did you move here?" She said, "For the
job For the
job, and I've been so lonely here, so lonely There's no one I
can talk to, you know, I
don't even know your brother" He smiled and said, "Sometimes at night I
walk out by the
river The
city's one big town, the
water turns it upside-down People found the
city because they love other people They want their secretaries, they want their power lunches "And think about tonight, I
heard the
same newscast you did I
unplugged everything, I
looked out the
window And I
think the
city heard I
watched as, one by one, the
lights went off So they could give their power to the
hospital" They ate in silence while she thought this over They sat together in a
dark room in the
mortal city Shifting in their blankets so they wouldn't get spaghetti on them Then came the
awkward moment after dinner, what to do The
ice was still falling, the
streets were still dangerous The
cabs were not running, and this neighborhood was not the
greatest They both looked at the
space where a
couch would've been She felt her stomach sink, she felt like she could hardly think She said, "I never should have rented this apartment in the
mortal city The
cold comes through every crack I
put my hand up to The
radiator doesn't work, I
have to use electric heat" And that settled it, they would both sleep in her bed It was a
matter of survival She brought out T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, and hats If there was ever any thought of what would happen in that bed tonight There was no question now They could barely move They were wrapped up like ornaments waiting for another season They laid in bed and listened to the
pelting ice He said, "My brother's not a
bad guy, he's just quiet I
wished you liked the
city" She said, "Maybe I
do "I think I
have a
special kind of hearing tonight I
hear the
neighbors upstairs, I
hear my heart beating I
hear one thousand hearts beating at the
hospital And one thousand hearts by their bedsides waiting Saying, 'That's my love in the
white gown'" We are not lost in the
mortal city We are not lost in a
mortal city
