the only fear you pay money to feel on purpose
means A sudden wave of intense excitement or pleasurable emotion that seems to ripple right through your body.
from From Old English 'thyrlian,' meaning to pierce or bore a hole — the same root that gives us 'nostril' (literally a 'nose-hole'). A thrill was once something that physically pierced you; over time the piercing became emotional, the sensation of being run through by sudden feeling.
