เพลง Hang On to Your Emotions

Hang On To Your Emotions - Lou Reed

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
