Lyrics:
Calling AmericaElectric Light OrchestraSomebody told her that there was a place like heavenAcross the water on a 747Yeah, we're living inIn a modern worldAnd pretty soon she's really got the notionOf flying out across the big blue oceanYeah, we're living inIn a modern worldTalk is cheap on satelliteBut all I get is static informationI'm still here re-dial on automaticCalling 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 AmericaBut I'm just talking to a satelliteTwenty thousand miles up in the sky each nightYeah, we're living inIn a modern worldAll I had to do was pick up the phoneI'm out in space, trying to talk to someoneYeah, we're living inIn a modern world (in a modern world)She left a number I could callBut no one's there, no one at allThere must be something going wrongThat number just rings on and onCalling 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 AmericaSaid she'd call when she'd been gone a whileGuess she's missing me across the milesYeah, we're living inIn a modern worldCalling 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 AmericaCalling AmericaCalling AmericaCalling AmericaCalling AmericaCalling AmericaQuelle: LyricFindSongwriter: Jeff LynneSongtext von Calling America © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
