Calling America
(She left a number for me)
Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
Yeah, we're living in
(She left a number for me)
And pretty soon she's really got the notion

Calling America
Calling America
(That's what she said to do)
In a modern world
(Static)
Calling America
Yeah, we're living in
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
Calling America
Calling America
In a modern world
Calling America
In a modern world
(Can't get a message through)
But all I get is
Yeah, we're living in
Talk is cheap on satellite
Calling America
Calling America
...
But I'm just talking to a satellite
Information, I'm still here
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Calling America
Calling America
That number just rings on and on
Guess she's missing me across the miles
Across the water on a 747
Calling America
(In a modern world)
All I had to do was pick up the phone
Yeah, we're living in
There must be something going wrong
(That's where she has to be)
She left a number I could call
(That's where she has to be)
Yeah, we're living in

Calling America
In a modern world
Told her that there was a place like heaven
(That's where she has to be)
(That's what she said to do)
Calling America
In a modern world
(That's what she said to do)
(She left a number for me)
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
But no one's there, no one at all
