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
