30/90 (Demo)

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Years are getting shorter
Lines on your face are getting longer
Feel like you're treading water
But the riptide's getting stronger

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't panic, don't jump ship
Can't fight it, like taxes
At least it happens only once in your life

[Chorus]
They're singing, "Happy Birthday"
You just want to lay down and cry
Not just anothеr birthday
It's 30/90
Why can't you stay twenty-nine?
Hell, you still feel likе you're twenty-two
Turn thirty, 1990
Bang! You're dead
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?

[Verse 2]
Clear the runway
Make another pass
Try one more approach
Before you're out of gas

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't freak out, but don't strike out
Can't fight it, just like City Hall
At least you're not alone
Your friends are there, too

[Chorus]
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?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Making choices, wicked witches
Poppy fields, or men behind the curtain
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that's for certain!

[Chorus]
And 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 thirty in the '90s

[Outro]
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, no!
30/90
30/90, no!
30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?
