The Rolling Stones Paint It Black ( Ed Sullivan Show, 1966)

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 ev ryday I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and I must have it painted black Maybe then I ll fade away and not have to face the facts It s not easy facing up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not forsee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colours anymore I want them to turn back I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
