Having worked in several bars and having hung out in far too many of them, those lines have always made perfect sense to me. Remember, they're preceded by "You go down to the pick up station, Craving warmth and beauty ..." You're not craving fascination, just warmth and beauty. Mostly though, you wanna get laid. So, after a few drinks, something far below than "fascination" is acceptable. I've seen it happen at least a hundred times. Lori
