(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

(In a modern world) Talk is cheap on satellite

But all I get is

(Static)

Information, I'm still here

Re-dial 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

(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)

Calling America 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
