This device in my hand
Well, it does not understand
How I need to talk with you
Oh, I need you nowAnd even the mobilest phone
Will leave you exactly alone
When the sea decides
To commandeer the landOh, everyone needs a home
Everybody needs a place to go
A sympathetic ear when you're on hold, oh, ohEvery girl needs a roof and a bed, and bright, bright light
That she can turn off at night
And fall asleep with the love of her life, oh, ohA catastrophic lonely collapse
A conspiracy of maps
Sweet Louise, two days from side to sideDaunting, dear, it's true
But this flood will not keep me from you
Pull my picture from your wallet now and singWell, everyone needs a home
Everybody needs a place to go
A FEMA trailer does not ease the blow, oh, noEvery boy needs a roof and bed, and bright, bright light
That he can turn off at night
And fall asleep with the love of his life, oh, ohEveryone needs a home
Everybody needs a place to go
A sympathetic voice when you feel alone, oh ohAll I need is a roof and a bed, and a bright, bright light
That I can turn off at night
Fall asleep with the love of my life, oh, oh
I fall asleep with the love of my life, oh, oh
