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 twenty-nine? Hell, you still feel like you're twenty-two 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 your 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 you be optimistic? You're no longer the ingenue Turn thirty, 1990 Boom, 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 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" (happy birthday) I just wish it all were a dream It feels much more like Doomsday F*ck 30/90 Seems like I'm in for a twister I don't see a rainbow, do you? Turn thirty 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 (30/90) 30/90, 30, 30/90 (what) What can I do? 30/90, 30, 30/90 What can I do?
