Story behind "Flying Red Horse" (track 11)

"Flying Red Horse" has been described as a "fantasy of freedom inspired by a gas
station sign."John Gorka shares his vison of the Mobil logo coming to life and
escaping to the sky. While the song is delivered in a serious tone Gorka manages
to inject a fair amount of humor:

Full serve attendants were spilling their hoses
Self-serve was doing the same
The manager dialed the emergency numbers
Insurance man won't take the claim

"Gas" by Edward Hopper
