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
