Andrew Garfield, Joshua Henry & Vanessa Hudgens Lyrics – 30 of 90

30/90

(feat. Robin de Jesus, Alexandra Shipp & MJ Rodriguez)
(from “tick, tick… BOOM!” soundtrack)

[JON:]
Stop the clock – take time out
Time to regroup before you lose the bout

[JON & ROGER:]
Freeze the frame – back it up

[JON:]
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 thirty 1990
Bang! You’re dead,
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?

[ROGER:]
Clear the runway – make another pass
Try one more approach before you’re out of gas

[JON:]
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?

[ROGER:]
Don’t freak out, don’t strike out
Can’t fight it, like City Hall

[JON:]
At least you’re not alone
Your friends are there too
They’re singing, “Happy Birthday”

[JON & MICHAEL:]
You just wish you could run away

[JON:]
Who cares about a birthday? But

[JON & MICHAEL:]
30/90, hey

[JON:]
Can you be optimistic?

[JON & MICHAEL:]
You’re no longer the ingénue
Turn thirty, 1990

[JON:]
Boom! You’re passé

[JON & MICHAEL:]
What can you do?

[JON:]
What can you do?
What can you do?

[ROGER & KARESSA & CUSTOMERS:]
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Ahhh
Which way to Never Never Land? Ahhh
Emerald City’s gone to hell
Since the wizard

[JON & ROGER & KARESSA:]
Blew off his command

[JON:]
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

[JON & ALL:]
Clock is ticking, that’s for certain

[JON:]
They’re singing, “Happy Birthday”

[JON & ROGER & KARESSA:]
I just wish it all were a dream Happy birthday
It feels much more like doomsday
Fuck

[ALL:]
30/90

[JON:]
Seems like I’m in for a twister

[ROGER & KARESSA:]
I don’t see a rainbow, do you? Ah, ah

[ALL:]
Turn 30 in the 90’s

[JON:]
Into my hands now
The ball has passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast

[ROGER & KARESSA:]
The world is calling Ahhhh
It’s now or Neverland
Why can’t I stay a child forever
And
30/90
30/90

30/90

[JON:]
30/90
30/90
30/90

[ROGER & KARESSA:]
30/90

[ALL:]
30, 30/90
What can I do?
[ALL & JON:]
30/90, 30, 30/90

What can I do?
