Calling America — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

(Jeff Lynne)
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.
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)
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.
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.
