Pink Triangle

Weezer · Pinkerton [1996]

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



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

A pink triangle on her sleeve

Let me know the truth

Let me know the truth



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

Why 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

A 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

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

A 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

We were good as married in my mind

But married in my mind's no good

A 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
