CALLING AMERICA
Electric Light Orchestra


Verse:
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven-fortyseven
Yeah, we're living 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 a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:
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.

Verse:
But I'm just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we're living 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 a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:
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.

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.

Verse:
Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
Guess she's missing me across the miles
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.

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.
Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America...
