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

Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.

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)
