Lyricists: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

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 every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I 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 walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

The first 7 seconds of this song are so haunting and immediately draw you into the song. Brian Jones was a genius instrumentalist. In 50 years people will still be listening to The Rolling Stones and appreciating their genius.

When I first saw the Stones I was hooked. Get Off of My Cloud was the winner💯 this song came out just before my birthday in 1966, May. It became a theme song for me when my brother got killed in Vietnam 1969 3 years later. Black has been my favorite color ever since. The counterculture that the stones represented transcended decades and has continued on through today for even the younger people that have listened to their music. Mick and Keith will always be two of the better songwriting Duos in Rock and Roll history.😉🤘

My older brother on leave from the Army heard Paint It Black and asked me who was that on drums and that he was really good.My brother could play and sing almost anything ( and had a real garage band which played in bars ---- which our parents disapproved of ). He loved drumming and had all of Buddy Rich's albums then.He didn't like the Stones but recognized Charlie's huge talent from the beginning. ------ Sharon in South Florida.

At first he doesn’t care that much, but it hurt him that so many peoples want him to change so bad. So he does. He paint his shirts in black, and the next concert he appears in black, acting like he’s never been better, but he’s not really fine. And at the end he sits alone and regret his past himself.

He once drove the car with me in it into a canal because he was screaming Charlie was behind us. They found a bunch of needles in the glove box when they got us and then the car out. My mom left him for that and I saw him once more before he died. He was shooting heroin sublingually because all his views were shot and he could only get his neck in one spot or under his tongue. He eventually, inevitably, overdosed and his pain was finally over. War does horrific things to the ones who die there and also to the ones who come back.
