Glenn Tipton - Paint It Black lyrics

rate me

I see a red door

And I want to paint it black

No colours anymore

I want them to turn black

I see a line of cars

And they are painted black

They pass me by with one

Who's never coming back

I look inside myself

And see my heart is black

I see a red door

And I have to have it black

Maybe I'll fade away

And not have to face the fact

That it's not easy

When your whole world's turning black

Paint it black

My world's black

If we look hard enough

Into the setting sun

These things will last with me

Before the morning comes

I see them walking by

All dressed up in their clothes

I have to turn away

Until my blackness goes

Paint it black

My world's black

Paint it black

It's all black
