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 90s 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 80s were for. sponsored links If you think you're alive If you think you're a man You were already dead right 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. An emotion 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: 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. An emotion 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 emotion is a terrible thing Any motion is a terrible thing And emotion is a terrible thing
