[Verse 1]
I get so uptight, I can't sleep at night
I'm a picture of frustration
Is this really happening to me?
Is my heart on ice? Am I paralyzed?
'Cause I'm feelin' no sensation
[Pre-Chorus]
Makes me wonder what I'm lookin' for
Twentieth-century living always leaves me wanting more
You think that this is paradise
I can't go on existing
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that something's wrong
I know that I've been missing
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
[Verse 2]
Well, I try and try but I just can't find
Any real communication
Does anybody know what's going on?
Well, you can't believe everything you see
All that useless information
[Pre-Chorus]
Isolated with your TV screen
Systematically, you're becoming a part of their machine
And it's exacting such a price
I can't go on existing
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that something's wrong
I know that I've been missing
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
I need emotion
[Guitar Solo]
Emotion
[Pre-Chorus]
Makes me wonder what I'm lookin' for
Twentieth-century living always leaves me wanting more
You think that this is paradise
I can't go on existing
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that something's wrong
I know that I've been missing
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
I need emotion
So much emotion, baby
Emotion
[Outro]
I get so uptight, I can't sleep at night
I need emotion
I need emotion
I can't sleep at night (Emotion)
I need emotion
(Emotion, emotion)
(Emotion, emotion)
(Emotion, emotion)
(Emotion, emotion)
(Emotion)
I get so uptight, I can't sleep at night
I'm a picture of frustration
Is this really happening to me?
Is my heart on ice? Am I paralyzed?
'Cause I'm feelin' no sensation
[Pre-Chorus]
Makes me wonder what I'm lookin' for
Twentieth-century living always leaves me wanting more
You think that this is paradise
I can't go on existing
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that something's wrong
I know that I've been missing
(Emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion)
[Verse 2]
Well, I try and try but I just can't find

I need emotion
I need emotion
I can't sleep at night (Emotion)
