Lyrics

Somebody Told her that there was a place like Heaven 'Cross the water on a 747 Yeah we're living in In a modern world (Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum) And pretty soon, she'd really got the notion Of flying out across the big blue ocean Yeah, we're living in In a modern world (in a modern world) Talk is cheap on satellite But all I get is (static) Information, I'm still here Redial on automatic 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 20,000 miles up in the sky each night Yeah we're living in In a modern world (Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum) 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 (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 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 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 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 Calling America
