New Frontier Lyrics

American people with marvelous hair
And a knack to do anything better than anyone
I got a home with electrical air
And I live in a world
Smaller than anyone
I got a line on a new frontier
I got to learn a new America
All of the people are vanishing here
I could be huge, If i could be here
I could just get
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
Purest Aluminum people
are Walking the streets of London
So hysterical
Nobody here gets a word they say
and the problems I'm told, are more than medical
I got a friend from the new frontier
And Galen, she says, "this is not america" You need a girl with electrical hair
And the words that you wanted was aluminum
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside
I was in bed with
The girl at the end of the world
She says I'm goin home
And you should come home too
I'm at the end of the new frontier
here at the edge of the flat earth ending
I'm getting off to get lost in the air
At the end of the world where the light is bending
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
From the outside of everything
To the inside of you
To the inside of you
To the inside of you
To the inside of you
To the inside of you

Cover art for New Frontier lyrics by Counting Crows

I'm not afraid to say that is by far the absolute worst Counting Crows song I have ever heard. That's right, step aside Ghost Train and Hanginaround, this one takes the cake. I think I like the entire new album with the exception of this track, however.

@lyprulz This is definitely my least favorite CC song too (though Ghost Train is good). New Frontier never fails to remind me of a Duran Duran song.

dude- ghost train is a GREAT song- listen to the lyrics to understand. rookie...

lyprulz you are EXACTLY right, i bought the new album the day it came out and the first thing that came to mind when i heard this song, was that it was the absolute worst i have ever heard by counting crows! they should have def. left this track off!! but the rest of the cd makes up for it ;) august and everything after is an amazing cd, i love the whole thing, including ghost train. some songs you have to listen to for a while, to truly appreciate them. (this one won't be one of those haha) and in hanginaround, there really isn't that much there to appreciate! but it's catchy i guess... oh welll this song is by far worse!

I actually really like this song...it isn't one of the BEST songs CC has, but its not the worst thats for sure. I'm trying to figure out what he says at the beginning of this song....can anyone tell me???

Cover art for New Frontier lyrics by Counting Crows

skater, according to annabegins.com he says:

"come on children mind the gap."

It's what British bus drivers say when they're making a stop. No idea on what that means though.

Cover art for New Frontier lyrics by Counting Crows

"mind the gap" is the british warning that conductors give on the subway-- it means watch out for the gap between the subway car and the platform.

this song is my new york song.

I read somewhere that they wrote this song while in England, where they were surrounded by synth-pop crap...so yeah, I guess that makes sense. Still sucks though.

I kinda like this song. hehe Dont really care for the lyrics- but it's fun to blast in your car with the windows down. music is upbeat and fun.

Cover art for New Frontier lyrics by Counting Crows

I actually like this song if you can get past the corny ass beginning. The begining reminds me of Love Shack by the B-52's and I hate that damn song. I do like this song though. Am I the only one????????

And it's actually Miracle people. not American people.
