Calling America

Somebody

Told her that there was a place like Heaven

'Cross the water on a 747

Yeah we're living in

In a modern world

(Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum)

And pretty soon, she'd really got the notion

Of flying out across the big blue ocean

Yeah, we're living in

In a modern world (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

20,000 miles up in the sky each night

Yeah we're living in

In a modern world

(Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum)

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 (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

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

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

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

Calling America
