1. Paint it black.
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 every 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.
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.
2. Stupid girl.
I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears, look at that stupid girl, I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair, look at that stupid girl. The way she powders her nose, her vanity shows and it shows she's the worst thing in this world, well, look at that stupid girl.
I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold, look at that stupid girl, well, I'm talking about the way she grabs and holds, look at that stupid girl. The way she talks about someone else that she don't even know herself, she's the sickest thing in this world, well, look at that stupid girl.
Well, I'm sick and tired and I really have my doubts, I've tried and tried but it never really works out. Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen, look at that stupid girl, she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen, look at that stupid girl, it doesn't matter if she dyes her hair or the color of the shoes she wears, she's the worst thing in this world, well, look at that stupid girl. Shut up…
Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen, look at that stupid girl, she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen, look at that stupid girl. She purrs like a pussycat, then she turns 'round and hisses back, she's the sickest thing in this world, look at that stupid girl.
3. Lady Jane.
