[ Originally by The Rolling Stones ]
I see a red door and I want it painted 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 the 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 new born baby it happens every day
I look inside myself and see
My heart is black i see my red door and
Must have it painted 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 colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a new born baby it happens every day
I wanna see it tainted, tainted
Tainted black black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted
Tainted black
