PAINT IT BLACK
by The Rolling Stones
I see a red door
And I want it painted black.
No colors anymore.
I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes.
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.
Like a newborn baby,
It just happens every day.
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black.
I see my red door
And it has been painted black.
Maybe then I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts.
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black.
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue.
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you.
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun,
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes.
I see a red door
And I want it painted black.
No colors anymore.
I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes.
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.
Yeah!
