Paint It Black (The Rolling Stones cover) Lyrics
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 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 new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been 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 the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
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!
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 people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been 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 the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
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!

this is a cover of a rolling stones song, and a good one at that. i love this song and the original rolling stones too.
I think this cover is better than the original. The black dahlia murder covered it too and that version is also chuck full of awsome-ness.
Yeah, this song is full of "awesome-ness". My older brother is kinda, really obsessed with this song.
All i know is this whole cd is really good
Kickass song, though its hard to actually which song it is when you first hear it.. This song is about having a negative outlook on life, I guess
what a terrible cover, I don't understand why you cover a great song if you can't cover it good. waste of time. damn
@ThrilledByMusic I personally don't think this is a bad cover. I prefer a band put their own style onto an original rather than simply replicate the sound of the original. It has nothing on the original, I'll give you that, but it isn't that bad (very brave to cover such a legendary song).

seems like a bleek, gloomy, melancholic outlook on life
I have to agree with Blackhart. Very gloomy and negative.

great cover of a great song i think that it has a lot to do with how vietnam veterans saw the world as they came home from the war
