Raining In Baltimore - Live At Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/1997 - Counting Crows

This circus is falling down on its knees,

The big top is crumbling down,

It's raining in Baltimore fifteen miles east,

Where you should be, no one's around.

I need a phone call,

I need a raincoat,

I need a big love,

I need a phone call.

These train conversations are 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 plane ride,

I need 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, 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 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,

'Cause 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 need a raincoat,

I really, really need a raincoat,

I really, really, really need a raincoat,

I really need a raincoat.
