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 emotion, hang on to your emotion
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 emotion, hang on to your emotion
Could it be you've never felt like that That your mind's a cage inside the cage of 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 of rat Rabidly trying to get at you And your emotions, you and your emotion
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 emotion
When a night city's breeze blows across the room And a 5 A.M. moon and sun start their swoon You hear your lover's breath Not a moment too soon You get to
Release all your emotions, you get to Let go of your emotions and Release all your emotions, you'd better Let go of your emotions Release, I wanna let go I wanna release now
