I see a red door and I want it painted black
Dm A
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
VERSE TWO

I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
Dm A
With flowers and my love both never to come back

Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I wanna see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal
Dm A
I wanna see the sun blotted out in the sun
Dm
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
A
Painted black, yeah!
