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 rip tide'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 singin Happy Birthday
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday
It's Thirty Ninety
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 Thirty Ninety, Hey!
Can you be optimistic
You're no longer the 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-Neverland?
Emerald City's gone to hell
Since the wizard blew off his command
On the street you hear the voices
Lost children, crocodiles
But you're not into
Making choices, wicked witches
Poppy fields or men behind the curtain
Tiger lillies, 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 Thirty Ninety
Seems like I'm in for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn thirty in the nineties
Into my hands now,
Hope 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
Thirty Ninety, Thirty Ninety, Thirty Ninety, Thirty Ninety
Thirty Ninety, Thirty Thirty Ninety
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
