Stop the clock - take time out
Time to regroup before you lose the bout
Freeze the frame - back it up
Time to refocus before they wrap it up
Years are getting shorter
Lines on your face are getting longer
Feel like you're treading water
But the riptide's getting stronger
Don't panic, don't jump ship
Can't fight it, like taxes
At least it happens only once in your life
They're singing, happy birthday
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn thirty 1990
Bang! You're dead
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Clear the runway - make another pass
Try one more approach before you're out of gas
Friends are getting fatter
Hairs on you head are getting thinner
Feel like a clean up batter
On a team that ain't a winner?
Don't freak out, don't strike out
Can't fight it, like city hall
At least you're not alone
Your friends are there too
They're singing, happy birthday
You just wish you could run away
Who cares about a birthday?
But 30/90, hey
Can't you be optimistic?
You're no longer the ingenue
Turn thirty, 1990
Boom! You're passe
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Peter pan and tinkerbell
Which way to never never land?
Emerald city's gone to hell
Since the wizard
Blew off his command
On the streets you hear the voices
Lost children, crocodiles
But you're not into
Making choices, wicked witches
Poppy fields, or men behind the curtain
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that's for certain
They're singing, happy birthday
I just wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like doomsday
Fuck 30/90, seems
Like I'm in for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn 30 in the 90's
Into my hands now
The ball has passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast
The world is calling
It's now or neverland
Why can't I stay a child forever
And
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?
