Gruff Rhys – Frontier Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man
When they mistook you for beauty, they were eventually faced by a miserable plan
Still I sing my way to spaces that maudlin shouldn't quest
When the dinner isn't ready, I'm your uninvited guest

[Chorus]
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man

[Verse 2]
Oh, the artist's motivation are the gigs that come from rage
The nightmare of existence thrust them to the stage
But compared to the totalitarian, their whims seem soft and clean
When the future isn't broken, life fence the people in

[Chorus]
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man

[Bridge]
*Frontier man, come in, your work is done*
Feels like I've just begun
*Frontier man, can't you see what you've become?*
Just a monument to times gone wrong
*Frontier man, come in, your work's begun*
Can't see without my glasses on
*Frontier man, [?]*
Wake me from my coma

[Chorus]
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man
Frontier man, frontier man
On the frontier of delusion, I'm your foremost frontier man
