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
