Intro

This device in my hand

Well, it does not understand

How I need to talk with you

Oh, I need you now

And even the mobilest phone

Will leave you exactly alone

When the sea decides

To commandeer the land

Oh, everyone needs a home

Everybody needs a place to go

A sympathetic ear when you're on hold, oh, oh

Every 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, oh

Interlude

A catastrophic lonely collapse

A conspiracy of maps

Sweet Louise, two days from side to side

Daunting, dear, it's true

But this flood will not keep me from you

Pull my picture from your wallet now and sing

Well, everyone needs a home

Everybody needs a place to go

A FEMA trailer does not ease the blow, oh, no

Every 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, oh

Interlude

Everyone needs a home

Everybody needs a place to go

A sympathetic voice when you feel alone, oh oh

All 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
