(Somebody...)

(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...
