Electric Light Orchestra - Electric Light Orchestra-Calling America Lyrics



Electric Light Orchestra - Electric Light Orchestra-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...
