At The Hundredth Meridian
Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Where the great plains begin
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
Driving down a corduroy road (Crashing through the window)
Weeds standing shoulder high (Through the window)
Ferris wheel is rusting
Off in the distance
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
Left alone to get gigantic
Hard, huge, and haunted
A generation so much dumber than its parents
Came crashing through the window (Through the window)
A raven strains along the line of the road
Carrying a muddy, old skull
The wires whistle their approval
Off down the distance
At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin
I remember, I remember Buffalo
And I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me
I remember every single fucking thing I know
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
They bury me some place I don't want to be
You'll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze
Garbage bag trees, whispers of disease
Acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, and sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy
At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin
And take my life in my hands?
Where the great plains begin
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
Driving down a corduroy road (Crashing through the window)
Weeds standing shoulder high (Through the window)
Ferris wheel is rusting
Off in the distance
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
Left alone to get gigantic
Hard, huge, and haunted
A generation so much dumber than its parents
Came crashing through the window (Through the window)
A raven strains along the line of the road
Carrying a muddy, old skull
The wires whistle their approval
Off down the distance
At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin
I remember, I remember Buffalo
And I remember Hengelo
It would seem to me
I remember every single fucking thing I know
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
They bury me some place I don't want to be
You'll dig me up and transport me
Unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze
Garbage bag trees, whispers of disease
Acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, and sadly, and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy
At the hundredth meridian (Hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (You're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian)
At the hundredth meridian (Baby, you're gunna miss me)
At the hundredth meridian (Trust me)
Where the great plains begin
