Lyrics Shop Vac - Jonathan Coulton
We
took
the
freeway
out
of
town
Found
a
place
to
settle
down
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'll
sit
around
staring
at
the
wall-to-wall
Take
fieldtrips
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
(For
heaven's
sake
it's
really
loud
with
the
shop
vac
on)
You'll
be
okay
'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
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
(For
heaven's
sake
it's
really
loud
with
the
shop
vac
on)
You'll
be
okay
'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
because
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
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
and
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
(For
heaven's
sake
it's
really
loud
with
the
shop
vac
on)
You'll
be
okay
'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
