KING CRIMSON Circus (from the album Lizard, 1970) Circus is a song by pioneer of progressive rock band King Crimson from their third album Lizard, released in 1970. The powerful opening track of King Crimsons Lizard, Cirkus is perhaps the best-known track on the album. It begins with a hushed verse from Haskell before launching into a menacing theme played by Fripp on the mellotron. The songs verses then alternate with this signature theme, and the track boasts some of Fripps most dextrous acoustic guitar playing alongside a soaring saxophone solo by Collins. With lyrics by Sinfield rich in circus imagery, the track builds up into a cacophonous climax.
