Paint It Black lyrics

I see a red door

And I want to paint it black

No colours anymore

I want them to turn black

I see a line of cars

And they are painted black

They pass me by with one

Who`s never coming back

I look inside myself

And see my heart is black

I see a red door

And I have to have it black

Maybe I`ll fade away

And not have to face the fact

That it`s not easy

When your whole world`s turning black

Paint it black

My world`s black

If we look hard enough

Into the setting sun

These things will last with me

Before the morning comes

I see them walking by

All dressed up in their clothes

I have to turn away

Until my blackness goes

Paint it black

My world`s black

Paint it black

It`s all black
