Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
[Verse 3]
And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
I guess it's time to put the top down
[Chorus]
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really, really need a raincoat
I really, really, really need a raincoat
Really need a raincoat
