Paint It Black Songtext
von The Standells

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

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
It's like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart turn black
I see my red door and I must paint it 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 go turn 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 at me before the mornin′ comes

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

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
Got to, got to, got to have it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, yeah, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah
Got to have it painted, got to, got to have it, have it painted black
Black as coal


I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
