There was an abandoned house we lived next to   With a broken pool that we'd sit next to   It was full of shopping carts, a mattress, and old car parts   We'd goof around like it was our pool, you'd laugh and set your toes into   We'd watch the sun go down over the overpass where endless miles of cars would pass   We'd listen to the crooners croon and make drinks with a blender your mom gave to me and you      We came home one night and our door was open   Most of our things were gone or broken   All our clothes were thrown around the rooms and even our pictures were wrecked too   And the overpass where the endless miles of cars would pass, it hummed night and day and night and day   We used to think it sounded like a river, but all that slipped away that day
