[Intro]
I've got to use her

[Verse 1]
Every time I feel fascination
I just can't stand still, I've got to use her
Every time I think of what she put me through, dear
Fascination moves, sweeping near me
Still, I take ya

[Chorus]
(Fascination) fascination
(Sure enough) fascination
(Takes a part of me) takes a part of me
(Can a heartbeat) can a heartbeat
(Live in the fever) live in the fever
(Raging inside of me?)
(Fascination) fascination
(Oh, yeah) oh, yeah
(Takes a part of me) takes a part of me
(I can't help it) I can't help it
(I've got to use her) I've got to use her
(Every time) fascination comes around
Ooh
(Fascination)

[Verse 2]
Your soul is calling like when I'm walking
Seems that everywhere I turn I hope you're waiting for me
I know that people think that I'm a little crazy
Ooh, but pleasure seeks this thing, I think I like fascination
Still, I take ya

[Chorus]
(Fascination) fascination
(Sure enough) fascination
(Takes a part of me) come on, come on, come on, come on
(Can a heartbeat) can my heartbeat
(Live in the fever) live in the fever
(Raging inside of me?) raging inside of me?
(Fascination) fascination
(Oh, yeah) oh, yeah
(Takes a part of me) come on, come on, come on, come on
(I can't help it) I can't help it
(I've got to use her) I've got to
(Every time) every time
Fascination comes around

[Chorus]
(Fascination) sure enough
(Sure enough) takes a part of me
(Takes a part of me) can a heartbeat
(Can a heartbeat) live in the fever
(Live in the fever) raging
(Raging inside of me?) fascination
(Fascination) fascination
(Oh, yeah) fascination
(Takes a part of me) fascinate, ah, oh babe
(I can't help it) fascination
(I've got to use her) I've got to use her
(Every time) Every time
Fascination comes around

[Outro]
(Fascination)
(Fascination) fascination
(Sure enough)
(Fascination) takes a part of me
(Yeah, yeah) can a heartbeat
(Fascination) live in the fever
(Yeah, yeah) raging inside of me?
(Fascination) fascination
(Yeah, yeah) oh, yeah
(Fascination) fascination
(Yeah, yeah) oh, yeah
(Fascination) oh, yeah
(Yeah, yeah) oh, yeah
(Fascination) takes a part of me
(Yeah, yeah) I cannot help it
(Fascination) I can't help it
(Yeah, yeah) I've got to use her
(Fascination) every time
(Yeah, yeah) fascination
(Fascination)
(Yeah, yeah) fascination
(Fascination)
Fascination
Takes a part of me
Can a heartbeat live in the fever raging inside of me?
Fascination takes a part of me
I can't help it, got to use her
Every time, every time
Every time fascination comes around

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
