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 must have it 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 go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it tainted, tainted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Yeah!

Review about Paint It Black Lyrics wrong on every site....... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/09
I rather agree with Anonymous | 2/16/08. The title of the song is Paint it black. But according to these lyrics the actual words "paint it black" are not in the song. I know the title doesn't have to be in the song but still..........
Song rules. I'm sure no one in the 60's, 70's, 80' or 90's called this emo. MCR isn't emo either, neither are any of the other bands you probably call emo. Hair swoops and tight pants aren't emo either.It came from the punk/hardcore scene in the mid 80's and 90's. Listen to a band called Rites Of Spring or Portraits Of Past.
Lyrics correct on every site, you're just dumb. | Reviewer: April | 7/23/09
Anonymous 2/16/08, how's it feel to be wrong? Why would he be demanding such a thing? The other reviewer, Bryan, had it right - it's about losing someone, and he's asking. You're wrong. Try actually listening to the song more often.
As for discovering this song on GH3, Christ. It's not even the original. Do yourself a favor, go out and actually BUY Aftermath. Or even the Greatest Hits. Stop worrying over which f*cking video game soundtrack it appears on and get the whole damn album.
die | Reviewer: I like all rock | 6/21/09
ok this song is great and guitar hero 3 sucks i mean i play it own it even but i hate covers and i hate people who only like one song from each band they claim to listen to. as far as i know you're all idiots the actual track is on a game called conflict vietnam (not the shitty gh 3 cover) and if you're not a rolling stones fan you're dumb.
Reamkes | Reviewer: Jenny | 6/3/09
I find that remakes of all classics really just suck. If the song was originally a classic, then it was probably done right the first time, but there's always someone out there who thinks they can do it better. Screw them. There is only one Rolling Stones and one incredible version of "Paint It Black" And to people who claim MCR are the ones who got the "emo" thing started, you must not have heard "Paint It Black" As far as I'm concerned, THIS song was the earliest version of what people call "emo"
Very haunting many interps | Reviewer: Corey baker | 4/14/09
Anyone who say that any remake is better is not really listening i am guitar player and a piano player and you have to really listen to the music no remake by ANY band punk or metal is as good as this original. It is a very haunting song crazy as hell.
Gh3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/09
I hate that some people are saying that gh3 "revived" this song. It was great when the stones made it and still was before gh3 even came out. Just wanted to say that so that people don't raise gh and lower the stones!!!!!
Everyone is painting it black | Reviewer: Raven | 6/14/08
First of all, fantastic song.
Second: Has anyone noticed that every rock band that deserves the title of "rock band" has a song titled "Paint It Black", and copied the original lyrics partially or completlely? Okay, that's exaggerating it. But honestly, Google the title "Paint It Black" and you have ten, twenty pages of results. Yes, most of those are connnected with the Rolling Stones in one way or another... And the only reason I know this is because I attempted to find the lyrics for within Tmeptation's version. Essentially, though, WT copied the lyrics off of the Rolling Stones. There go about fifteen search attempts for nothing, ha-ha.
great song! | Reviewer: XxChrissiXx | 4/4/08
I heard my 24 year old brother first play this song on guitar hero 3 and i thought wow!! who sings this song when i found out it was the rolling stones as never being a fan of 1960 bands i was shocked! even though i no emo i love this song and normally end up dancing around singing it in my room when noones home =)
"The lyrics on every site are wrong" | Reviewer: Bryan | 3/9/08
Actually I am listing to the song right now and you are wrong. He is saying "And I want it painted black" He isn't demanding it be painted he is asking for it to because he can't bare the pain of a lost loved one.
