Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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'd really got the notion

Of flying out across the big blue ocean

Yeah we're living in, in a modern world

[Verse 2]

Talk is cheap on satellite

But all I get is (Static)

Information, I'm still here

Redial on automatic

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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 9]
