Lyrics
Oh it's opening time
It's the beginning of something
Down on Fascination Street
Referring to a place called "Fascination Street"
So let's cut the conversation
Let's stop talking
And get out for a bit
And go out for a while
Because I feel it all fading and paling
Feelings diminishing and losing intensity
And I'm begging
Begging someone to join in the descent
To drag you down with me
Wanting someone else to share in the negativity
To kick the last nail in
To finalize something, possibly an ending
Yeah! I like you in that
Expressing preference for someone in a specific way
Like I like you to scream
Enjoying a particular reaction from someone
But if you open your mouth
Warning against speaking up
Then I can't be responsible
Disclaiming responsibility for consequences
For quite what goes in
Uncertainty about what might be accepted
Or to care what comes out
Not caring about the outcome
So just pull on your hair
Suggesting a physical action
Just pull on your pout
Indicating a facial expression
And let's move to the beat
Dancing to the rhythm acknowledging an end
Like we know that it's over
Acknowledging the closure of something
If you slip going under
Warning about the risk of falling under
Slip over my shoulder
Suggesting support if someone falls
So just pull on your face
Indicating a change in demeanor
Just pull on your feet
Encouraging movement in a certain way
And let's hit opening time
Beginning of something again
Down on Fascination Street
Referring back to "Fascination Street"
So pull on your hair
Repeating an earlier instruction/action
Pull on your pout
Repetition emphasizing physical actions and expressions
Cut the conversation
Reiteration of stopping conversation
Just open your mouth
Encouragement to speak up
Pull on your face
Repetition of physical actions
Pull on your feet
Encouragement for movement
And let's hit opening time
Repetition indicating the beginning of something
Down on Fascination Street
Referring again to "Fascination Street"
