[00:00.81]She never should have rented
[00:02.38]This apartment in the mortal city
[00:05.42]
[00:06.34]The cold comes though
[00:07.41]
[00:07.97]Evey crack she puts her hand up to
[00:10.41]
[00:10.97]The radiator's broken
[00:12.11]
[00:13.08]So she has to use electric heat
[00:15.46]
[00:16.03]And tonight was the first date with
[00:18.41]The brother of the guy she worked next to
[00:21.73]He lived a couple streets away
[00:23.06]
[00:23.66]He listened he had things to say
[00:26.07]She asked him up for dinner sometime
[00:27.62]
[00:29.06]Sometime was tonight
[00:30.27]
[00:36.55]The radio gave updates on the ice storm
[00:39.67]While she made the dinner
[00:40.93]
[00:41.92]They said from all the talk
[00:43.17]
[00:44.01]You shouldn't drive or even walk
[00:45.86]
[00:46.57]And this just in we're asking everyone
[00:50.62]
[00:51.32]To turn off their power
[00:53.05]
[00:53.99]They need it at the hostpital
[00:56.38]
[01:01.16]She ran around pulling plugs
[01:03.21]
[01:03.87]Then she called him up
[01:04.93]
[01:06.20]Maybe now they shouldn't meet
[01:07.38]
[01:08.64]He said that he would brave the streets
[01:10.63]
[01:11.14]She met him at the door
[01:12.16]
[01:12.90]With a blanket and a candle
[01:14.40]
[01:15.43]Saying I heard it on the radio
[01:17.41]
[01:18.40]I had to turn my power off
[01:20.61]
[01:25.54]He said you're not the only one
[01:26.80]
[01:28.07]The streets were dark tonight
[01:29.11]
[01:30.51]It was like another century
[01:32.55]With dim lamps and candles lighting up
[01:35.63]The icy trees and the clouds and a covered moon
[01:39.40]
[01:42.26]She said what kind of people make a city
[01:45.41]
[01:46.14]Where you can't see the sky
[01:47.69]And you can't feel the ground
[01:48.89]
[01:51.01]I tell you something
[01:51.73]
[01:52.40]I have this feeling that this city's dying
[01:54.75]
[01:56.00]He said it's not dying
[01:57.08]
[01:57.87]It's the people who are dying
[01:59.57]
[02:00.16]She said yes yes I think
[02:03.03]The people are dying
[02:04.13]And nobody cares
[02:06.08]
[02:11.38]We had all this technology
[02:12.32]
[02:13.92]Our dreams were bold and vague
[02:15.76]And then one city got bad planners
[02:20.95]
[02:21.71]One city got the plague
[02:25.01]
[02:34.72]He asked why did you move here
[02:37.01]
[02:38.08]She said for the job
[02:39.17]
[02:40.99]For the job
[02:41.87]And I've been so lonely here so lonely
[02:46.53]
[02:47.56]There's no one I can talk to
[02:49.27]
[02:49.96]You know I don't even know your brother
[02:51.72]
[02:59.81]He smiled and said
[03:00.65]
[03:01.25]Sometimes at night I walk out by the river
[03:03.67]
[03:04.83]The city's one big town
[03:05.99]
[03:06.86]The water turns it upside down
[03:08.92]
[03:09.86]People found
[03:10.40]This city because they love other people
[03:13.05]
[03:14.14]They want their secretaries
[03:15.76]
[03:16.51]They want their power lunches
[03:18.09]
[03:26.34]And think about tonight
[03:27.26]
[03:28.01]I heard the same newscast you did
[03:30.02]
[03:31.43]I unplugged everything
[03:32.32]
[03:33.44]I looked out the window
[03:34.62]
[03:35.53]And I think the city heard
[03:37.01]
[03:38.91]I watched as one by one the lights went off
[03:42.09]So they could give their power to the hospital
[03:44.86]
[03:53.20]They ate in silence while she thought this over
[03:56.60]
[03:58.14]They sat together in a dark room in the mortal city
[04:02.53]Shifting in their blankets so
[04:04.97]They wouldn't get spaghetti on them
[04:07.16]
[04:13.32]Then came the awkward moment after dinner
[04:16.04]
[04:16.84]What to do
[04:17.38]
[04:18.48]The ice was still falling the streets were still dangerous
[04:22.66]The cabs were not running
[04:24.01]
[04:25.08]And this neighborhood was not the greatest
[04:27.27]
[04:28.77]They both looked
[04:29.60]At the space where a couch would've been
[04:31.93]
[04:33.62]She felt her stomach sink
[04:35.04]
[04:35.90]She felt like she could hardly think
[04:37.65]
[04:42.54]She said I never should have rented
[04:44.83]This apartment in the mortal city
[04:47.74]
[04:48.88]The cold comes through eve crack I put my hand up to
[04:52.65]
[04:53.34]The radiator doesn't work I have to use electric heat
[04:57.44]
[04:59.43]That settled it they would both sleep in her bed
[05:02.22]
[05:02.81]It was a matter of survival
[05:04.02]
[05:08.08]She brought out teeshirts sweatshirts
[05:10.24]
[05:10.98]Sweatpants socks hats
[05:14.10]
[05:15.62]If there was ever any thought of
[05:18.15]What would happen in that bed tonight
[05:19.93]
[05:21.61]There wa no question now
[05:22.62]
[05:24.08]They could barely move
[05:25.02]
[05:25.83]They were wrapped up like ornaments waiting
[05:27.70]
[05:28.98]For another season
[05:30.08]
[05:36.73]They lay in bed they listened to the pelting ice
[05:40.36]
[05:42.01]He said my brother's not a bad guy he's just quiet
[05:45.18]
[05:47.30]I wished you liked this city
[05:48.27]
[05:50.83]She said maybe I do
[05:52.55]
[05:56.97]I think I have a special kind of hearing tonight
[05:59.81]
[06:02.16]I hear the neighbors upstairs
[06:04.59]I hear my heart beating
[06:06.03]
[06:07.73]I hear one thousand hearts beating at the hospital
[06:15.25]
[06:22.48]And one thousand hearts by their bedsides waiting
[06:31.01]
[06:35.27]Saying that's my love in the white gown
[06:44.91]
[06:51.58]We are not lost in the mortal city
[06:54.96]
[06:56.56]We are not lost in the mortal city
[07:02.19]
