R.e.m - Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars) - Lyric

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.

(repeat 1st verse and chorus)

Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.
Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.

(repeat chorus)

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel.
Stranger, stranger to these parts.
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel.
Diminish, stranger.

(repeat chorus)

Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars). November 24, 2007. “Carnival of Sorts” doesn't give the listener much in the way of context, but it is very generous in terms of imagery and sensation. Its aura of danger and mystery is seductive, ... and I actually meant to put a comma in there after gentlemen , making it the former meaning (that's the way I always thought of it, that's the way it's sung really..sounds to me anyway)…..the lyrics to the right do not include the comma. ...
