Circus of Death Lyrics by The Human League

Reproduction

[Intro]
Why in just a few moments we're off to Hawaii to join Steve McGarrett and the team for tonight's adventure
[Verse 1]
Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii
The Trident is just touching down
We're waiting here on the tarmac
McGarrett is wearing a frown
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
[Chorus 1]
The circus of death is approaching (Aaaaah)
Its pathway is painted in red (Red, red, red, red)
Before it the frightened and helpless (Aaaaah)
Behind it a trail of the dead (Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead)
[Bridge]
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
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
[Chorus 2]
Spare me and my family, I've done you no wrong (Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
Go away, please let us be, I've known you for too long (Long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long)
