about

This is a collaboration across time and space with one of the first bands I was in that I truly loved. We weren't even sure what we were called, but settled on Dangers of the Fresh Air a little after the fact. This WAS an instrumental called Pegasus, transformed into a song called Pegasus. Thanks to my good old friends Chris Profater (guitar) and Joe Wood (drums), for this and for the good times we had then.

lyrics

Pegasus

Born in an Okie well
My mother was a gorgon but
My father never fell
Shape of a seahorse
Form of a swan
Don’t ask me for a ride because
You can’t get on

You know my name
You’ve seen me in your dreams
You may know my face but it
Isn’t what it seems

I got places to be
More destinations worldwide
I’m not that other guy
With all the soldiers inside
Don’t listen to those guys about those shoes
Percy had trouble getting ‘round
With me he cannot loose

You know my name
You’ve seen me in your dreams
You may know my face but it
Isn’t what it seems

You oughtta see me now
No reservations ’bout the Muses
And they still know how
You oughtta see how far
Just take a tip from the Big Dipper
Past the northern star
