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 aroundI need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone callThese 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 wayI need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoatAnd I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the sameThere'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 downI need a phone call
I need a raincoat
