That's as high as it goes | |
That's as loud as it gets | |
Take a minute to breathe | |
Smoke your first cigarette | |
Scream as loud as you want | |
Scream as loud as you need | |
That's what the 90's were for | |
May they never recede | |
You could take me with you | |
I could take you with me | |
Though we're better off here | |
I mean ultimately | |
We don’t need cheering up | |
We don’t need any more | |
We don’t need what we want | |
That’s what the 80’s were for | |
If you think you’re alive | |
If you think you’re a man | |
You were already dead | |
Oh before it began | |
Searching for rock | |
In a pile of sand | |
All the kind that you want | |
‘Till it’s all in your hands | |
I know, I know it's not the easiest thing | |
To decide to let the easy things go | |
Cause it's hard enough without | |
Another sign that you've slowed down | |
[Chorus] | |
An emotion is a terrible thing | |
But emotion is a terrible thing to waste | |
I've been over it again and again | |
And the only thing I'm over's the time it takes | |
Any motion is a hell of a thing | |
Knowing emotion is a hell of a thing to face | |
You can do it with your back on the wall | |
But the oldest ones are always the backs that break | |
And if you fight with fire | |
If you wrestle to sleep | |
May the wrestling end | |
Now you find what you need | |
And you fill it with lead | |
And it fills you with ink | |
Always less than you want | |
Always more than you think | |
You know, you know it's not the easiest thing | |
To decide to keep the easy things close | |
Cause it's hard enough without | |
An open mind to weigh you down | |
[Chorus] | |
And emotion is a terrible thing | |
Any motion is a terrible thing | |
And emotion is a terrible thing |
That' s as high as it goes | |
That' s as loud as it gets | |
Take a minute to breathe | |
Smoke your first cigarette | |
Scream as loud as you want | |
Scream as loud as you need | |
That' s what the 90' s were for | |
May they never recede | |
You could take me with you | |
I could take you with me | |
Though we' re better off here | |
I mean ultimately | |
We don' t need cheering up | |
We don' t need any more | |
We don' t need what we want | |
That' s what the 80' s were for | |
If you think you' re alive | |
If you think you' re a man | |
You were already dead | |
Oh before it began | |
Searching for rock | |
In a pile of sand | |
All the kind that you want | |

I know, I know it' s not the easiest thing | |
To decide to let the easy things go | |

Another sign that you' ve slowed down | |
Chorus | |
An emotion is a terrible thing | |
But emotion is a terrible thing to waste | |
I' ve been over it again and again | |

Knowing emotion is a hell of a thing to face | |
You can do it with your back on the wall | |
