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      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      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
