Somebody)

Told her that there was a place like heaven

Across the water on a seven four 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

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

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

Calling America

Calling America
