[Intro]
One, two, one, two

[Verse 1]
Secret stigma, reaping wheel
Diminish, a carnival of sorts
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel
Stranger, stranger to these parts

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Secret stigma, reaping wheel
Diminish, a stranger of these parts, of these parts, yeah
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel
Stranger, stranger, oh

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Cages under, cages under
Cages under cage
Cages under, cages under
Cages under

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Secret stigma, reaping
Stranger, in and out, oh
Chronic town, poster torn
Boxcar is the trial

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Boxcars are pulling
Boxcars are pulling (Come and I'll show you out of town)
Boxcars are pulling
Out of town

Thank you very much
Thanks
Enjoy the crew

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
