The 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, a raincoat
I need a, a big love
I need a phone call

These train conversations 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, a plane ride
I need a, 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
But what would you change if you could?

I need a phone call
Maybe I should buy a, 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
I really, really need a rain coat
I really, really, really, really need a rain coat
I really, really, really, really, really need a rain coat

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

The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore, fifty miles east
