Calling America — текст песни (Electric Light Orchester)

Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven fourty seven -
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
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
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.

Calling America - can`t get a message through
. . .

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 - calling America - calling America -
Calling America - calling America - calling America -
