30/90

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 want to lay down and cry
 Not just another birthday
 It's thirty-ninety
 Why can't you stay 29?
 Hell, you still feel like you're 22
 Turn 30, 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 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 ingénue
 Turn 30, 1990
 Boom! You're passé
 What can you do?
 What can you do?
 What can you do?
 Peter Pan and Tinker Bell
 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
 And they're singing, "Happy birthday"
 I just 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 30 in the 90s
 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
 Thirty-ninety
 Thirty-ninety (thirty-ninety)
 Thirty-ninety
 Thirty-ninety (thirty-ninety)
 Thirty-ninety
 Thirty-thirty-ninety
 What can I do? (Thirty-ninety, thirty-thirty-ninety)
 What can I do?
