Lyrics
Oh, it's opening time down on Fascination Street So let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit Because I feel it all fading and paling and I'm begging To drag you down with me, to kick the last nail in Yeah, I like you in that, like I like you to scream But if you open your mouth, then I can't be responsible For quite what goes in or to care what comes out So just pull on your hair, just pull on your pout And let's move to the beat like we know that it's over If you slip going under, slip over my shoulder So just pull on your face, just pull on your feet And let's hit opening time down on Fascination Street So pull on your hair, pull on your pout Cut the conversation, just open your mouth Pull on your face, pull on your feet And let's hit opening time down on Fascination Street Down on Fascination Street Down on Fascination Street Down on Fascination Street On Fascination Street
About
The English rock band The Cure's 1989 North American-only single "Fascination Street" is a track from their album Disintegration. On 13 June 1989, the song was released as a single in the US, while the UK received it on 5 September 1989. The song reached number 2 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 32 on the Hot 100 in the United States. The song was written by Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst, while Porl Thompson handled its production. "Fascination Street" features a drum machine for its drumming, something which was very unusual for The Cure at that time. The song's signature riff is played on an Echoplex delay unit. It was allegedly inspired after a booze-fuelled night out in New Orleans where, Robert Smith has said it was based loosely on one particular ‘band adventure’ in New Orleans 1985, Bourbon Street, stating "It’s about the incredulity that I could still be fooled into looking for a perfect moment.".
