Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me 'round I feel numb, born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it, the better We'll make it up as we go along Feet on the ground, head in the sky It's ok, I know nothing's wrong, nothing Hi-yeah, I got plenty of time Hi-yeah, you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money, always for love Cover up and say goodnight Say goodnight Home is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home, she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from the other Did I find you or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be Where I'll be Hi-yeah, we drift in and out Hi-yeah, sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head, I go Ooh

• “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)” foi lançada como o segundo e último single de estúdio do álbum *Speaking in Tongues* em novembro de 1983 pela Sire Records.
• A letra foi escrita pelo vocalista David Byrne, enquanto a composição musical contou com a colaboração de todos os membros da banda: Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth e Jerry Harrison.
• • Byrne descreveu a canção como um “love song” que evita os clichês típicos do gênero, buscando uma abordagem mais direta e sincera.
• O título entre parênteses faz referência à construção simples e “ingênua” da melodia, baseada em um ostinato minimalista que se repete ao longo de toda a faixa.
• • Essa simplicidade marcou um afastamento do estilo anterior do Talking Heads, que era conhecido por ritmos polirrítmicos de inspiração africana e grooves funk.
