Paint It Black - War, Eric Burdon

I see a red door

And I want to paint it 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 them turn their heads

Cruelly look away

Like a newborn baby

It just happens every day

I look inside myself

See my heart is back

I see my red door

And I wanna 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

No more will my green sea

Go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee

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 wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as night

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as coal

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as night

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as coal

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as night

I wanna see it painted

Painted black

Black as coal
