electric light orchestra - calling america lyrics
(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
(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 sp-ce, 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
