Paint It, Black

Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

With flowers and my love both never to come back
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I wanna see your face, painted black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
I see a red door and I want it painted black
