The duplicate! BDM independently outlined the same song two months later without realizing DMM had already done it. Great minds think alike.
I see
A red door
The girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I want
It painted black
No colors anymore
Them to turn black
I see
A line of cars
Painted black
With
flowers
my love
(both never to come back)
People turn their heads and quickly look away
I
Look inside myself
See
My heart is black
My red door and it has been painted black
A red door
The girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I want
It painted black
No colors anymore
Them to turn black
To see
It painted black as
Night
Coal
The sun blotted out from the sky

Also Outlined By DMM
DMM acknowledged "that last one didn't work as well as I thought it might." Then BDM ALSO outlined Paint It Black months later without realizing DMM had already done it. DMM noticed 18 months later: "Did BDM outline the Stones song not realizing I had already outlined that same song?" BDM replied: "ww appurrently i did."
