Paint It Black (Live) by The Rolling Stones


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 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 people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn 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 settin' sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the mornin' comes
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 have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
...
I wanna see your face 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 black, yeah!
