I just rearranged Shop Vac a bit to make it a duet! It'd be neat if someone actually does this someday.
MALE: 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
So 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
FEMALE: For heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on
MALE: 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
FEMALE:We hung a flag above the door
Checked out the gourmet grocery store
I bought a mower you can ride around the yard
But we haven't got real friends
And now even the fake ones have stopped calling
I know if I forget to hide the keys
You'll take a ride to Applebee's
You'll come home drunk on daiquiris and throw up on the neighbor's lawn
If you need me
I'll be upstairs
With the TV
You can call but I probably won't hear you
Because it's loud with the TV on
MALE: God, Jesus Christ, it's really loud with the TV on
FEMALE But you'll be OK
Cause you'll be downstairs
With your shop vac
You can cry and I probably won't hear you
Because it's loud with the TV on
MALE: I like the Starbucks here; it's better than the other one
Cause the other one's not as good
FEMALE: They really need to put a light there cause it's hard to turn
It's hard to make a left turn
BOTH: 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 and I can see them speeding through the dark
MALE: If you need me
FEMALE: If you need me
MALE: I'll be downstairs
FEMALE: I'll be upstairs
MALE: With the shop vac
FEMALE: With the TV
BOTH: You can call but I probably won't hear you
MALE: Because it's loud with the TV on
FEMALE: For heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on
FEMALE: But you'll be OK
MALE: You'll be OK
FEMALE: Cuz you'll be downstairs
MALE: Cause you'll be upstairs
FEMALE: With the shop vac
MALE: With the TV
BOTH: You can cry and I probably won't hear you
Because it's loud with the shop vac on/Because it's loud with the TV on
