Letra de Shop vac

We took the freeway out of town
We found a place to settle down
We bought a driveway and a swingset and a dog
You got your very own bathroom
I got my very own workshop in the basement

We sit around staring at the wall-to-wall
Take field trips to our favorite mall
Waiting for the day when all the kids grow up and leave us here

If you need me
I´ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on
But you´ll be OK
Cause you´ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on

We hung a flag above the door
Checked out the gourmet grocery store
I bought a mower I can ride around the yard
But we haven´t got real friends
And now even the fake ones have stopped calling

Maybe if you forget to hide the keys
I´ll take a ride to Applebee´s
I´ll come home drunk on daiquiris and throw up on the neighbor´s lawn

If you need me
I´ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on
But you´ll be OK
Cause you´ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on

I like the Starbucks here that´s better than the other one
Because the other one´s not as good
They really need to put a light there cause it´s hard to turn
It´s hard to make a left turn

And when it´s time to go to bed
I´m still awake inside my head
I´m floating up above the house and looking down
I guess I gotta go back there
I guess there never was any other answer

And as the freeway hums the cars go by
The headlights roll across the sky
Many miles away but I can see them speeding through the dark

If you need me
I´ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on
But you´ll be OK
Cause you´ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won´t hear you
Because it´s loud with the shop vac on
