Electric Light Orchestra (elo) - Calling America lyrics

(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. Talk is cheap on satellite But all I get is (static!) Information, I'm still here Re-dial 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) 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. [REPEAT CHORUS] 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 Calling America, Calling America...
