|
(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... |
