Wonders of the Younger Lyrics
Race cars and spaceships and carnival rides
Ghosts in graveyards that come out at night
These are the wonders of the younger
Daydreams of castles inside crystal balls
While your heroes on posters stand guard on your walls
These are the wonders of the younger
And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we can all go back right now
Werewolves and vampires are out for the kill
If none of them catch you, the Bogeyman will
These are the wonders of the younger
Walking the plank off an old pirate ship
With a fist full of gold and her kiss on your lips
These are the wonders of the younger
And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we can all go back right now
Click your heels
Close your eyes
Make a wish goodbye
Fly away
It's not too late
Change your mind
Numbers and figures take up all my time
How did this much of my life pass me by?
I miss the wonders of the younger
Ghosts in graveyards that come out at night
These are the wonders of the younger
While your heroes on posters stand guard on your walls
These are the wonders of the younger
And I wonder how we can all go back right now
If none of them catch you, the Bogeyman will
These are the wonders of the younger
With a fist full of gold and her kiss on your lips
These are the wonders of the younger
And I wonder how we can all go back right now
Close your eyes
Make a wish goodbye
Fly away
It's not too late
Change your mind
How did this much of my life pass me by?
I miss the wonders of the younger

This is the explanation for almost every song on that album, but especially Cirque de la Rue and Welcome to Mysterie. It's about growing up and refusing to grow up. It's about losing innocence and youth and the fact that you CAN keep the fantasy's, that you just have to fight for it and that by the time you realize that, it's to late.
So sad, if you listen to the lyrics.
