This circus is falling down on it's knees The big top is crumbling down It's raining in baltimore fifty miles east Where you should be, no one's around We need a phone call We need a raincoat We need a big love We need a phone call These train conversations are pa**ing me by And I don't got nothing to say You get what you pay for But still I had no intentions of living this way We need a phone call We need a plane ride We need a sunburn We 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? We 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 We need a phone call
