Electric Light Orchestra (elo)-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.







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...
