Electric Light Orchestra - Calling America Lyrics

Somebody

Told her that there was a place like Heaven
Across the water on a seven forty seven
Yeah, we're livin' in
In a modern world
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru)

And pretty soon she's really got the notion
Of flyin' out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we're livin' in
In a modern world
(Ooh in a modern world)

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is
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
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru)

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
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru)

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I'm out in space, tryin' to talk to someone
Yeah, we're livin' in
In a modern world
(Ooh in a modern world)

She left a number I could call
But no one's there, no one at all
There must be something goin' 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
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru)

(Tu tu ru ru ru ru)
Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while
Guess she's missing me across the miles
Yeah, we're livin' 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)
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru, tu tu ru ru ru ru)

Calling America, calling America
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru, tu tu ru ru ru ru)
Calling America, calling America
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru, tu tu ru ru ru ru)
Calling America, calling America
(Tu tu ru ru ru ru, tu tu ru ru ru ru)
