| 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 | |

| We don' t need any more | |
| We don' t need what we want | |
