Calling America

[Verse 1] (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's really got the notion Of flying out across the big blue ocean Yeah we're living in In a modern world [Pre-Chorus] Talk is cheap on satellite But all I get is (static) Information that I'm still here Redial 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 [Verse 2] So 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 (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 [Pre-Chorus] 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] [Verse 3] 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 [Repeat until fade out]
