This circus is falling down on its knees The big top is crumbling down It's raining in Baltimore fifteen 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 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 Baby if I listen real hard And I wish I wish it was a small world Because I'm lonely for the big towns I'd like to hear a little guitar I guess it's time to put the top down I need a phone call I need a raincoat Really need a raincoat Really really need a raincoat Really really really need a raincoat Really need a raincoat
