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 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 ingénue
Turn thirty, 1990
Voom! You're passé
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 90s

Into my hands now
The ball is 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
30, 30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?
