the tragically hip
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, Weeds standing shoulder high 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 it's 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 At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian Where the great plains begin  (At the hundredth meridian) At the hundredth meridian (At the hundredth meridian) At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian Where the great plains begin  I remember, I remember Buffalo And I remember Angelo 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 and the acts of enormity And lower me slowly, sadly and properly Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy, At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian Where the great plains begin  At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian At the hundredth meridian Where the great plains begin
