Tick, Tick.. Boom!

Yes! It let me post a picture!

Anyway.. I love this show.. Tick, Tick.. Boom. It's from the same person that wrote that phenomenal show Rent. Jonathan Larson. I heart him so much. It's a shame he's dead. Im sure he had so many more great shows in him that he took to the grave.

Anyway.

I think I love this show so much because a lot of the songs are so relatalbe.

This is the show that the song "Johnny Can't Decide" came from. I had posted that song probably last month or so. I had said that the lyrics were really poinant to me and the people around me.. and they hit so close to home that it scared me.

There are other songs in the show that do that to me.

The one called 30/90 does that to me too..

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

Year's are getting shorter
The 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 Never Never Land?
Emerald City's gone to hell
Since the wizard blew off passed the map

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 curtains,
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 dooms day
Fuck 30/90!

Seems like i'm in for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn 30 in the 90s
Into my hands now
The ball has passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast

The world is calling
It's now or never land
Why can't I stay
A child forever, and
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
30/90
What can I do?
What can I do?


I mean.. granted.. i'm not turning 30 just yet.. and it's not really the 90s anymore.. but still... the feeling of dread and anticipation and feeling like my life hasn't been made the most of yet..

totally me..

Don't you think???
