Paint It Black

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards

[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 go by dressed in their summer clothes
I'll 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
It's like a new born baby, it just happens every day

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[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'll have to turn my head until my darkness goes

[Bridge]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm mmm-mmm

[Verse 6]
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

[Outro]
Black as coal, I wanna see the sun blotted out
