Wrong Number Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lime green, lime green and tangerine
The sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing
Lime green and tangerine
The sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams

[Verse 1]
Lime green, lime green and tangerine
The sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing
Lime green and tangerine
The sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams

[Pre-Chours 1]
It gets to Friday and I give you a call
"You know I'm getting kind of worried
She doesn't seem herself at all
Lime green, a sickly kind of orange
I've never seen her like this before"

[Chorus]
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
"Can you dig it?" (Can you dig it?) "Can you dig it?"
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
And now I dig it in the dirt and I'm down here for a while
Down here for a while

[Bridge]
You've got to make up your mind and make it soon
Is there room in your life for one more trip to the moon?
Is there room in your life for one more?

[Verse 2]
Burn red, red and gold
The deep dark colours of the snakes I hold
Burn red, red and gold
The deep dark colours of the devil at home

[Pre-Chorus 2]
She pulls me down just as I'm trying to hide
Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside
And starts digging in the dirt, for a not so early bird
It's the only way for her to get the worm

[Chorus]
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
"Can you dig it?" (Can you dig it?) "Can you dig it?"
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
And now I dig it in the dirt and I'm down here for a while
I'm down here for a while

[Interlude]
"Hello? Are you still there?"
"Hello? Hello, are you still there?"
And much too late
Sorry... wrong number (I'm sorry, you have the wrong number)
Yeah. Sorry, wrong number

I saw (“Wrong Number”) just like “Never Enough” from the Mixed Up album. It was just like an aberration. I mean it was good fun, but it was a one-off. We did it with Reeves Gabrels and he had a huge influence on the sound of it. I pretty much did that wi...
