Hip Tragically At The Hundredth Meridian Lyrics

At The Hundredth Meridian Lyrics

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,
weeds standing shoulder high
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the
distance
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.
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 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
someplace 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 amd the acts of enormity
and lower me slowly,
sadly and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy,
At the hundredth
meridian where the great plains begin.
