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 passing 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
