Pink Triangle Lyrics
When I'm stable long enough
I start to look around for love
See a sweet in floral print
My mind begins the arrangements
But when I start to feel that pull
Turns out I just pulled myself
She would never go with me
Were I the last girl on Earth
[Chorus]
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Verse 2]
Might have smoked a few in my time
But never thought it was a crime
Knew the day would surely come
When I'd chill and settle down
When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place
Everyone's a little queer
Oh, can't she be a little straight?
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Chorus]
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one, oh
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good, oh
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one, oh
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
About
“Pink Triangle” is a love song about a boy who falls for the wrong girl (i.e., one who isn’t into boys at all).
As Rivers explained in a 1996 interview:
I had a really intense crush on a girl and then I dreamed about her all through the fall semester. And then I found out she was a lesbian.
[…]
It was someone I never even talked to.
The name “Pink Triangle” is a reference to the pink triangle-shaped patches that the Nazis used to identify homosexual prisoners in concentration camps.
While the pink triangle was once a symbol of shame, it’s been adopted as an international symbol of gay pride.
