Calling America Lyrics

(Jeff Lynne)

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.

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)

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.
