C                    Gm
Miracle people with marvelous hair
      Bb                   F
And a knack to do anything better than anyone
C                  Gm
I got a home with electrical air
      Bb              F
And I live in a world smaller than anyone's
    C                 Gm

I got a line on the new America
C                      Gm
All of the people are vanishing here

I could be huge if I could just get

Purest Aluminum people are walking the streets of London so hysterical
C                  Gm
Nobody here gets a word that I say
        Bb                      F
And the problems, I'm told, are more than medical
    C                       Gm
But I got a friend from the new frontier
    Bb                        F
And Galen, she says, "This is not America.
C                      Gm
You need a girl with electrical hair
        Bb                       F
And the word that you wanted was aluminium."

But I'm at the end of the new frontier
Bb                      F
Here at the edge of the flat earth ending
C                      Gm
I'm getting off to get lost in the air
       Bb                         F
At the end of the world where the light is bending
