Fascination Street

Why? "Fascination Street."

Lyrics here:

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 cant 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

Because it plays an important part in The Nun's Date. The street on which Our Lady of the Holy Waters is located on Fascination Street in Gotham City. Why? Why not? Well, there is a why. From the very beginning, I always associated Heath Ledger's Joker with the Spider Man (not Spidey) from the Cure's "Lullaby." I saw the 'Ha' poster in Wal-Mart of all places months before I fell victim to the character's charms, and I'd stand and just stare at J, wondering where I'd seen that expression before. Once I finally made the connection, I was hooked.

As for a Fascination Street being in Gotham, it was just a thing I did because I'll forever connect J with Robert Smith. It's how I roll.

Just as a spoiler, the nun will end up back on Fascination Street at Our Lady of the Holy Waters. It's not far from Wayne Manor. I know how and I know why (maybe), but I just can't seem to get it written. Maybe if I stopped watching Cure videos, I'd actually do something constructive.
