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 raincoat

I need a big love
I need a rain coat


These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you paid 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, there's things I forget


I miss you I guess that I should
Three-thousand five-hundred miles away

And 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
'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
I need a phone call

I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really, really need a rain coat

I really, really, really need a rain coat
I really need a raincoat
