Paint It Black

[Verse 1]

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black

I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes

I'll have to turn my head until my darkness goes

[Verse 2]

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

It's like a new born baby, it just happens every day

[Verse 3]

I look inside myself and see my heart turn black

I see my red door and I must paint it black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

[Verse 4]

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I looked hard enough into the settin' sun

My love will laugh at me before the mornin' comes

[Verse 5]

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I'll have to turn my head until my darkness goes

[Bridge]

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm mmm-mmm

[Verse 6]

I wanna see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Got to, got to, got to have it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun, yeah, blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah

Got to have it painted, got to

Got to have it-have it painted black

[Outro]

Black as coal, I wanna see the sun blotted out
