    Story Behind the Song
    Music and lyrics came together the day Wanda Mercury was formed, from a complete instrumental by Paul Felt and complete poem by Lauren Bielski, into one complete song.

    It was their first jam together.e

    Lyrics
    Despite it all, I think,
    I'd rather be in the pink,
    than in the black of night
    any day.

    Still, the silent waves
    of inky nightness
    makes a misty moodiness,
    I like to be truthful,
    I have to say.

    Still it's true, I think
    I'd rather be in the pink,
    than in the dark,
    malodorous cave
    of inner life.

    It's a dandy flash world
    for a well-made flash girl,
    for whom stars seem to flash
    ever bright.

    Breath it in, breath it out . . .
    Life, just live it.

    Breath it in, breath it out . . .
    Don't take, come on and give it.

    Though the black side had its fun,
    I'd rather be, I think,
    sprightly bright,
    happy and pink.
    It's flash to be cool,
    swank and groovy.

    You can keep all this pain
    in a box in the rain,
    'cause for goodness sake
    it hasn't been good to me.

    I'd rather be in the pink,
    I'd rather be in the pink...

    Despite it all you think
    I'll never be in the pink
    but stay draped in the night,
    like a cape.

    Well, I've told you I fight
    for the glossy daylight,
    every single day of my life.

    Still, it's true I think
    I'd rather be in the pink
    than in any deep place inside me.

    And this pain, my friend,
    I'll never look for again,
    just play hide and go seek
    till it finds me.

    Breath it in, breath it out . . .
    life, just live it.
    Breath it in, breath it out . . .
    don't take, just give it.

    Though the black side had its fun,
    I'd rather be, I think,
    sprightly bright,
    happy and pink.
    It's flash to be cool,
    swank and groovy.

    You can keep all this pain
    in a box in the rain,
    'cause for goodness sake
    it hasn't been good to me.

    I'd rather be in the pink,
    I'd rather be in the pink . . .


    Despite it all you think
    I'll never be in the pink
    but stay draped in the night,
    like a cape.

    Well, I've told you I fight
    for the glossy daylight,
    every single day of my life.

    Still, it's true I think
    I'd rather be in the pink
    than in any deep place inside me.

    And this pain, my friend,
    I'll never look for again,
    just play hide and go seek
    till it finds me.
