"Hang On To Your Emotions"


	When your imagination has too much to say
	when the chill of the night meets the sweat of the day
	And you have trouble understanding what other people have to say
	you'd better

	Hang on to your emotions, hang on to your emotions

	When a demagogue inside your head has taken charge
	and by default what you say or do is criticized
	And this litany of failures is recited a thousand times
	you'd better

	Hang on to your emotions, hang on to your emotions

	Could it be you've never felt like that
	that your mind's a cage - inside the cage a cat
	that spits and scratches all it can get at
	And that's you, and your emotions

	Could it be you've never felt like that
	your mind's a cage - inside the cage a rat
	rabidly trying to get it, you 
	And your emotions, you and your emotions

	When your imagination has too much to say
	when that facile voice inside your head says give your life away
	You might think to ask - how it got that way
	what books it has read - that make it that way
	And where it got the right - to speak to anyone that way
	you'd better

	Hold on to your emotions, hold on to your emotions

	When a night city's breeze blows across the room
	and a 5 am moon and sun start their swoon
	You hear your lover's breath
	and not a moment too soon
	you get to

	Release all your emotions, you'd better ...
	Release all your emotions, you'd better ...

	Release, I wanna ...
	I wanna release, now
