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 come back
I see people turn their heads
and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
it just happens ev'ryday

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 facing up when your whole world is black

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


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

Hmm, hmm, hmm...
I wanna see it painted black,
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
