(Somebody...)
|
Told her that there was a place like heaven
|
Across the water on a 747
|
Yeah, we're living in
|
In a modern world.
|
|
And pretty soon she's really got the notion
|
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
|
Yeah, we're living in
|
In a modern world.
|
|
Talk is cheap on satellite
|
But all I get is (static!)
|
Information, I'm still here
|
Re-dial on automatic.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Calling America (can't get a message through)
|
Calling America (that's what she said to do)
|
Calling America (that's where she has to be)
|
Calling America (she left a number for me)
|
Calling America.
|
|
But I'm just talking to a satellite
|
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
|
Yeah, we're living in
|
In a modern world.
|
|
All I had to do was pick up the phone
|
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
|
Yeah, we're living in
|
In a modern world.
|
|
She left a number I could call
|
But no one's there, no one at all
|
There must be something going wrong
|
That number just rings on and on.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
|
Guess she's missing me across the miles
|
Yeah, we're living in
|
In a modern world.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Calling America, Calling America
|
Calling America, Calling America...
|
