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
