[Verse 1: Arlo Parks]
Fallin' asleep
Holdin' your puppy in your Prussian blue sheets
Never felt luckier
Than I do right now, tell me you love me, let me have it
[Verse 2: Arlo Parks]
Blood on your fleece
Grippin' the cup and gettin' sick in the streets
Never felt luckier
Than I do right now, under the stars you trust in me
[Pre-Chorus: Arlo Parks]
Blue jewels 'round your neck (Ooh)
You cool my distress (Ooh)
Loose cherries, hot breath
I'm overwhelmed
[Chorus: Arlo Parks & Phoebe Bridgers]
I spun 'round and screamed, "I feel elated when you hold me"
Then you got shy and beamed, "I think it's special that you told me"
I think you're special 'cause you told me
I think you're special 'cause you told me
I think you're special 'cause you told me
[Verse 3: Arlo Parks]
Got the red eye
Just to be near, 'cause my head eats me alive
You're makin' sure I'm eatin'
I call my mother just to tell her that I'm happy
[Verse 4: Arlo Parks & Phoebe Bridgers]
I'll tell you the truth
Being with someone always made me feel used
Then it would make me angry
'Cause I need love like a body needs sugar, I need love
[Pre-Chorus: Arlo Parks & Phoebe Bridgers]
Blue jewels 'round your neck (Ooh)
You cool my distress (Ooh)
Loose cherries, hot breath
I'm overwhelmed (Ready?)
[Chorus: Arlo Parks & Phoebe Bridgers]
I spun 'round and screamed, "I feel elated when you hold me"
Then you got shy and beamed, "I think it's special that you told me"
I think you're special 'cause you told me (Ready?)
I think you're special 'cause you told me
I think you're special 'cause you told me
[Outro]
(Ready?)

What did Arlo Parks say about "Pegasus"?
This song is about the purity and rarity of true love, that feeling of solidity, of finding a real home in another human being, of wanting to be better with/for someone but being held as you are. The video captures that frenetic joy and energy – the barren backdrop of the desert, finding relief and...
What have the artists said about the collaboration?
Arlo Parks:
Phoebe Bridgers you are one of the most intelligent and generous creative forces we have, I have cried to Funeral on many floors, I have screamed sung along to Motion Sickness in the car on countless road trips, I have been in love with what you make since I was 17 years old. I’m so exc...
What have the artists said about the music video?
The desert landscape has always had a special place in my heart, the scorched land, the dust, the sense of absence. Films like Gerry, My Own Private Idaho, and Paris, Texas all use the desert as its own character representing isolation, nostalgia and the journey to a place outside of yourself. Bedro...
What have the artists said about the song?
Arlo Parks:
Of course ‘Pegasus’ features lovely Phoebe [Bridgers]. The inspirations for the sparseness melting into the light, dance-y beat were ‘White Ferrari’ by Frank Ocean, ‘Talk Down’ by Dijon and ‘Grieve Not the Spirit’ by AIR. This is the first song I’ve written being so candid about how tri...
