Intro
Verse 1
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 my
darkness goes.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
I look inside myself and see my
heart is black.
I see my red door, I 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.
Verse 4
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.
Verse 5
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 my
darkness goes.
Outro
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
