"Fascination Street" is a 1989 U.S.-only single by the rock band The Cure from their album Disintegration.
Their American record company refused the band's original choice "Lullaby" as the first single (it was the lead single in the UK and was released in the U.S. later) and used "Fascination Street" instead. The song is notable for its extended bass introduction.
The song became the band's first number-one single on Billboard's then-newly-created Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed on top for seven weeks.
An extended mix was also produced, notable in which the lyrics begin after a 4:00 instrumental intro.
The song is a playable track in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

“Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression. The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now is alive because of the women. It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other.”
