Stop the clock
Take time out
Time to regroup
Before you loose 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 fight 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 30 in 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 you 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 30/90, hey
Can't you be optimistic?
You're no longer the ingenue
Turn 30, 1990
Boom! You're passe, What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell
Which way to NeverNeverLand?
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,
Tiger lilies, 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
[----] 30/90! Seems
Like I'm in for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn 30 In the nineties
Into my hands now
The ball has 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
30/90
30/90
30/90
30, 30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?

Okay, I'm not 30. I'm 17. And It's not 1990. It's 2005. So... uhhh... pretend the song is 17/05 by John Larson instead of 30/90 by John Larson.

In any case, I wish everybody a happy my-birthday. Slash prom day.

Cool, hope you enjoyed your birthday. I have another 'net friend whose birthday is May 27th too, but she doesn't post here.
