Calling America

(Somebody...)
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, were living in,
In a modern world.
And pretty soon , shes really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, were living in,
In a modern world.
Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, Im still here
Re-dial on automatic.
Calling America (cant get a message through)
Calling America (thats what she said to do)
Calling America (thats where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.
But Im just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, were living in,
In a modern world.
All I had to do was pick up the phone
Im out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, were living in,
In a modern world.
She left a number I could call
But no ones there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on.
Calling America (cant get a message through)
Calling America (thats what she said to do)
Calling America (thats where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.
Said shed call when shed been gone a while
Guess shes missing me across the miles
Yeah, were living in,
In a modern world.
Calling America (cant get a message through)
Calling America (thats what she said to do)
Calling America (thats where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me).
Calling America, calling America
Calling America, calling America
Calling America, calling America
Calling America ...
