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 turn 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 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

I want it black, as black as night
As black as coal, as black as death
I wanna see the sun blotted out in the sky
I want it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah

I want it black, black as coal
As black as ice, as black as death
I wanna see the sun, blotted out in the sky
I want it painted
