The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black

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 have to turn my head
until the 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 my self and
see my heart is back
door and I want 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 forsee 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 want to see it painted
paint it black
Black as night
black as coal
I want to see the sun
blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted
paint it black

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 have to turn my head
until the 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 my self and
see my heart is back
door and I want 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 forsee 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 want to see it painted
paint it black
Black as night
black as coal
I want to see the sun
blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted
paint it black
