Carnival of Sorts [Boxcars] lyrics

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel

Diminish, a carnival of sorts

Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel

Stranger, stranger to these parts

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage

Gentlemen don't get caught

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel

Diminish, a carnival of sorts

Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel

Stranger, stranger to these parts

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage

Gentlemen don't get caught

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Cages under, cages under, cages under cage

Cages under, cages under, cages under cage

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage

Gentlemen don't get caught

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel

Stranger, stranger to these parts

Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel

Diminish, stranger

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage

Gentlemen don't get caught

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.
