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 rip tide'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 want to lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's thirty ninety
Why can't you stay twenty-nine?
Hell, you still feel like you're twenty-two
Turn thirty, nineteen ninety, 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 your head are getting thinner
Feel like a cleanup 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 thirty ninety, hey!
Can you be optimistic?
You're no longer the ingenue
Turn thirty, nineteen ninety
Boom!
You're passe!
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, which way to Never Never Land?
Em'rald City's gone to hell, since the wizard blew off his command
On the street you hear the voices: lost children, crocodiles
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 wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like doomsday
Fuck thirty ninety!
Seems like I'm in for a twister, I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn thirty in the nineties
Into my hands now the ball is passed
I want the spoils but not too fast
The world is calling, it's now at Neverland
Why can't I stay a child forever? And thirty ninety
Thirty ninety, thirty ninety, thirty ninety, thirty ninety, thirty thirty ninety!
What can I do?
What can I do?
