30/90

Jonathan
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 find 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?

Michael
Clear the runway
Make another pass
Try one more approach
Before you're out of gas

Jonathan
Friends are getting fatter
Hairs on you head are getting thinner
Feel like the clean up batter
On a team that ain't a winner

Michael
Don't freak out, don't strike out
Can't fight it, like City Hall

Jonathan and Michael
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 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
Tigerlilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that's for certain

Jonathan
They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
I just wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like dooms day
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 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

All
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?

-Tick, Tick...Boom!
