Circus of Death (Fast Version)

[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
