3 Steps Ahead - Paint It Black lyrics

I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colors any more, 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 turns their heads and quickly look away,
Like a new born baby, it just happens every day.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black.
I see my red door, I was having paint it black.
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact,
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.


Paint it 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 setting sun,
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.
I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colors any more, 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 want it painted black, black! Black as coal, black as night!
I want it painted black, black! Black as coal, black as night!
Black, black, black, black, black, black!
Black, black, black, black,...
