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 minds 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 minds 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 citys breeze
blows across the room
And a 5 am moon
and sun start their swoon
You hear your lovers breath
And not a moment too soon
You get to
Release all your emotions you get to
Let go of your emotions and now
Release all your emotions you'd better
Let go of your emotions
Release I wanna let go
I wanna release now
