Electric Lights Orchestra - Calling America [ Download MP3 Music ] Album: Balance Of Power (1986) (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... |
