At the concert in Offenbach, Nick told the audience, a bit joking, that this song is "not about an old guy who watches young girls, but about the deception of ideas".
So I always had this thought that the songs is indeed more than what it reads on paper, especially since the lyrics on "Push the sky away" became more abstract. But I couldn't figure out what it was.
Now, it makes really sense when you look at it. Especially the lines:
"I believe in God
I believe in mermaids too
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain
Why not? Why not?"
...are an evidence for this, as it seems to me.
