of flying out across the big blue ocean

R: Calling America (can't get a message through)
            D                       A
   Calling America (that's what she said to do)
            D                        G
   Calling America (that's where she has to be)
            D                  A
   Calling America (she left a number for me)

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.

R: 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.
