Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven fourty seven -
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
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
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
. . .
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 - calling America - calling America -
Calling America - calling America - calling America -
