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 The 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? 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 thirty-ninety Hey, can't you be optimistic? You're no longer the ingenue Turn 30, 1990 Voom! You're passe What can you do? What can you do? What can you do?
