jonathan larson - 30/90 (demo) lyrics

[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?
h+ll, 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 h+ll
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
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
[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?
