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 [bad word] 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 it has been 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

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Baby
I wanna see it painted, painted black 
Oh, baby

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 [bad word] 
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black 
Black as night, black as coal 
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
painted, painted, painted, black
Oh, baby
