AbOn the frontier of delusion
I'm Gbyour foremost frontier Dbman
AbWhen they mistook you for beauty
They Gbwere eventually faced by a mDbiserable clAbown
[Verse]
Still GbI sing my Dbway to spacAbes
That Gbmodelling sDbhouldn't Abquest
When the Gbdinner isn'Dbt readAby
I'm your uninGbvited guesDbt
[Chorus]
AbFrontier man, frontier Bbmman
On the Ebfrontier of delusion
I'm your Dbforemost frontier Abman
AbFrontier man, frontier Bbmman
On the Ebfrontier of delusion
I'm your Dbforemost frontier Abman
[Verse]
AbWhen the artists motivation
Are Gbthe gigs Dbthat come Abfrom rage
AbThe nightmare of existence
Are Gbthrust into Dbthe stageAb  
[Verse]
But Gbcompared Dbto the Abtotalitarian
Their Gbwin seems Dbsoft and cleaAbn
When Gbthe future Dbisn't brokAben
By a fGbence that Dbwe pool inAb
