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 passing 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
