Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747

In a modern worldAnd pretty soon she's really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean

But all I get is

Calling AmericaBut I'm just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern worldAll 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

There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and onCalling America
