This circus is falling down on its knees The big top is crumbling down It's raining in baltimore fifty miles east Where you should be, no one's around I need a phone call I need a raincoat I need a big love I need a phone call These train conversations are pa**ing me by And i don't have nothing to say You get what you pay for But i just had no intention of living this way I need a phone call I need a plane ride I need a sunburn I need a raincoat And i get no answers And i don't get no change It's raining in baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same There's things i remember and things i forget I miss you i guess that i should Three thousand five hundred miles away But what would you change if you could? I need a phone call maybe i should buy a new car I can always hear a freight train if i listen real hard And i wish it was a small world Because i'm lonely for the big towns I'd like to hear a little guitar I think it's time to put the top down I need a phone call I need a raincoat
