Race-cars and spaceships and carnival rides

Ghosts in the graveyard, they come out at night

These are the wonders of the younger



Daydreams of castle and sad 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 could 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



Walk in the plank of an old pirate ship

With a fistful of gold and 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 could all go back right now



Click your heels, close your eyes

Make a wish and wave goodbye

Fly away, it's not too late

Change your mind



Now 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
