"Paint It Black" lyrics - DURAN DURAN

I see a red door, I said, "Paint it black"
No colour in my life, so just turn it black
I see the girls walkin' by dressed in their summer clothes
I'm gonna turn my head till the darkness goes

I see this line of cars, they're all painted black
Dead flowers and my love, both never to come back
You people turn your heads and quick now, look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then, I'll fade away and not face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my deep sea shade a deeper blue
Maybe now this dark thing will start happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will be laughing at me before the morning comes

[Outro:]
I wanna see it 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, painted
Painted black, yeah
