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

D Bm A D (D Bm G A)

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

D Bm A D (D C#m)

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.
