Lyrics

The QB has fallen, clutching his knee
The football, is fumbling not down
It's Raining in Baltimore, 40 miles northeast
Gotta tell Michael, 'cause he's not around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need to tell Michael
I need a phone call

I have the same conversations, while life's passing me by
By Thursday, there's nothing to say
You get what you pay for, but I just have no
Intention of paying my way
I need a phone call
Can't take a plane ride
Look like I have a sunburn
I've got this old Mets coat
I ask a monkey for answers
And tell Carville, the line has changed
It's Raining in Baltimore, Michael
Is the weather where you are, the same?

The things that I say, I remember
Hey Raju, I'll never forget
I miss the ending, even when a movie is good
The parking they gave me, was miles away!
You'd have lunch with Aaron Sorkin too, if you could
I need a phone call
Maybe I should get an uber car
Could always take the Amtrak Train, Chris Christie,
Keepin' quiet ain't too hard
And I kvetch, I kvetch about the whole world
From my front booth at the Palm downtown
Aldridge, have you heard Keith Richards play guitar
I can write the names of all the Rascals down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need to tell Michael
I really need to move this bicycle
I really, really, really need to tell Michael
He'll need a raincoat

    Oh my freakin' God. Epic. Bonus points for being my wife's favorite Counting Crows song. She won't understand a word of it.
