Tragically Hip - 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 meridianAt the hundredth meridian where the Great Plains beginDriving down a corduroy road,Weeds standing shoulder highFerris wheel is rusting off in the distance[Chorus]At the hundredth meridianAt the hundredth meridianAt the hundredth meridian where the great plains beginLeft alone to get giganticHard, huge, and hauntedA generation so much dumber than it's parentsCame crashing through the windowA raven strains along the line of the roadCarrying a muddy, old skull the wires show their approvalOff down the distance[Chorus]I remember, I remember buffalo And I remember HengeloIt would seem to meI remember every single *****ing thing I know[If I die of Vanity, promise me, promise meThat if they bury me some place I don't want to beThat you'll dig me up and transport meUnceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag treesWhispers of disease, and acts of enormityAnd lower me slowly, sadly, and properlyGet Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy[Chorus]Where the Great Plains begin atThe hundredth meridianAt the hundredth meridian where the Great Plains beginDriving down a corduroy road,Weeds standing shoulder highFerris wheel is rusting off in the distance[Chorus]At the hundredth meridianAt the hundredth meridianAt the hundredth meridian where the great plains beginLeft alone to get giganticHard, huge, and hauntedA generation so much dumber than it's parentsCame crashing through the windowA raven strains along the line of the roadCarrying a muddy, old skull the wires show their approvalOff down the distance[Chorus]I remember, I remember buffalo And I remember HengeloIt would seem to meI remember every single *****ing thing I knowIf I die of Vanity, promise me, promise meThat if they bury me some place I don't want to beThat you'll dig me up and transport meUnceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag treesWhispers of disease, and acts of enormityAnd lower me slowly, sadly, and properlyGet Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy[Chorus]
