the human league - circus of death (fast version) lyrics

[intro, spoken]
this is a song called “circus of death.” it tells the true story of a circus we met. the first two verses concern the actual arrival at heathrow airport of commissioner steve mcgarrett. the third emotionally describes a map showing the range of the circus. the fourth and fifth were extracted from an article in the guardian of march the 19th, 1962. the last is a shortwave radio message from the last man on earth

[verse 1]
nine o’clock flight from hawaii
the trident is just touching down
we’re waiting hеre on the tarmac
mcgarrett is wеaring a frown

[verse 2]
he’s here to help with a problem
a blood+spattered curse on our land
please cast your eye over this map, sir
this business is quite out of hand

[verse 3]
the circus of death is approaching
it’s pathway is painted in red
before it the frightened and helpless
behind it a trail of the dead

[verse 4]
the narcotic that forges their union
is a substance known only to one
to the clown it is known as “dominion”
it’s a secret that he’ll give to none
[verse 5]
the drug which gives the clown power
means the circus can never be stopped
and his dream can go on unhindered
till the last human being has dropped

[verse 6]
spare me and my family
i’ve done you no wrong
go away, please let us be
i’ve known you for too long
