Calling America

Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven fourty seven
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, redial on automatic.

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.

Calling America, can't get a message through, . . .

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.

Calling America, can't get a message through, . . .
Calling America, calling America - calling America
Calling America, calling America - calling America
