The circus is falling down on its knees
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, a raincoat
I need a, a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations, passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
Get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I'm in need of a plane ride
I need a, 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 there's 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, a new car
I can always hear a, a freight train
Well baby, if I listen real hard
And I wish, I wish it was a small world
'Cause I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
Think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really really need a raincoat
I really really really really need a raincoat
Really really really really really need a raincoat
I really really really really really need a raincoat
I really really really really need a raincoat
I really really need a raincoat
I need a raincoat
