Hang on to the Feeling
Could I get you a bag or a cookie with that?
Is there anything else you'd like to take?
Am I singing this right?
It kept me up all night
Now I can't seem to stay awake
I've got the money to make it
Until my next paycheck
And the lessons in patience were free
Pick up the cards you're dealing
And the onions you're peeling
Why don't you cry over something real for me?
They press your head to the floor and call it a ceiling
But you better hang on, on to the feeling
Oh man, hang on
On to the feeling
Yeah, yeah

You've gotta hang on
On to the feeling
Can't let nobody steal it
Cause if its the one
You've got to
Hang on to that feeling

It isn't magic who people become in traffic
But it sure is distracting from something
You start to feel like the only one
Or only important one
And that's a problem in your brain
I wonder who worked the pizza place
In LA with young Tom Waits
And if they're still there today
Serving slice through the heart of Saturday night
I wish them luck and
I wish them all more time
But I really wish they would just
Hang on
On to the feeling
You can't let nothing steal it
If it's the one you've got to
Hang on to that feeling
