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 -
