Vocabulary from The Rolling Stones: 'Paint It Black'.
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 must have it painted 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
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 settin' Sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the mornin' 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 want to see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I want to see the Sun
Blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black
Yeah!
