I'm the Night (Paint Me Black) - Velour Afternoon

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 ev'ry 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 Hmm, hmm, hmm,... 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 Yeah!

I know where you were born I know it's you I'll wait for weeks to find out That nothing's true And I'll wait too long You had it all before I noticed you And now your wildest dreams are falling through So I'll wait And you'll wait for me Unlock the door I want the truth 'cause If it's exactly what it claims to be then it may just set me free I know where you were born I know it's you Your tiny hands were cold But I wanted you anyway Back to the sea O simple life I've known Come back to me And I'll wait I'll shed this human form and I'll walk away The night controls me now and that's where I'll stay And I'll waste away but I'll make sure you don't
