Rolling Stones - Paint It Black

 

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours 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 newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee 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 colours anymore I want them to turn back
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
Don't wanna see the sun, flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yea!

 

Aftermath ('66)

※ '66년 앨범 "Aftermath" 에 삽입된 곡으로
우리에겐 외화 시리즈 "머나먼 정글" 주제곡으로
쓰이면서 너무도 잘 알려진 곡이다.
개인적으로 "알 파치노" "키아누 리브스" 주연의
영화 "데블스 에드버킷" 마지막 장면이 인상 깊었는데,
"허영은 내가 좋아하는 기호품이지" 라는
"알 파치노 (사탄)" 의 명 대사와 함께 이곡이 흘러나온다.
검게 칠하라~!
