I see a red door
And I want to paint in 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 new born baby
It just happens ev'ry 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
Turn to 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 with me
Until the mornin' comes

I see a red door
And I want it paint in 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

Yeah!

Paint it black
Paint it black
