Artist: Counting Crows

Album: Across A Wire-live In New York

  • Songwriters: Steve Bowman, David Bryson, Adam Duritz, Charlie Gillingham, Dave Immergluck, Matt Malley

This circus is falling down on its knees
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
