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
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 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
(Humming)
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!
