lyrics

Follow me follow, into the hollow
huntress, hero of the underground
you carry in your collarbone
a wisdom i will never know

so go, go go, go with the caribou
wade into, into the ocean
follow the cry of the lonesome canary
on down the mine shaft, flare of the car crash
read of the epitaph, read of the end

aim for the center again
aim for the center again
aim for the center again

There are worse places to be,
than stuck in a traffic jam, driving through mountains
sky blue and gold rush, radio reports on secret prisons
white helmets and unsung saviors, valve turner
and corporate favors

I'm wondering where I can put my trust in,
in a world so broken and busted, oh turn it off
you said just enjoy the scenery, when else will we be here,
we might as well be here, come back to me friend

aim for the center again
aim for the center again
aim for the center again

Our car passed over the 45th parallel,
drew a line between Equator and the North Pole,
it's raining hard now, raining hard
the weather man says, please try to stay in,
please try to stay home

well we're trying, we're trying, we're trying to get there
we're trying, we're trying, we're trying to get there
we're trying, we're trying to get there

but this storm's got me worried
for my friends and my family
father he tested the generator says it works fine
call me later now, when you arrive,

oh, oh, oh
so go, go go, go with the caribou
wade into, into the ocean
follow the cry of the lonesome canary
on down the mineshaft, flare of the car crash
read of the epitaph, read of the end

aim for the center again
aim for the center again
aim for the center again

The oil trains pass, black snakes on the sunset
the cows eating grass they got pipelines on under them
river beds, truck beds, oil and grain
what it takes to feed this growing machine
will be buy, barter, steal or lend
will aim for the center again,
aim for the center again.
