This song is about being in love and the foolish giddiness of it, feeling like you can take on the world. As freejoe put it, you're invincible. The previous interpretations of setting off the geese are correct.
However, I didn't find anyone giving a satisfactory interpretation of the line, "serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon", nor "we are the heirs to the glimmering world." A simple song, but the forementioned line about serving the sky is one of the most ellusive portions of imagery in this song.
Here's my interpretation. Clearly, all is beautiful when you are young, or maybe just in love and feeling young. It glimmers, but so does the night sky, which I directly connect with the gleeful night time activities with a devious bent that this song promotes. When you are in love you feel like you are kings and queens and so the choice to tie it into inheritance.
Serving the sky is like saying you are serving the stars to someone, especially since this song specifies the night sky by saying, "tonight." Lemons are bitter. Perhaps there is a desire for a bittersweet ending. Many a bittersweet ending has been idealized by youths, such as in "Romeo and Juliet." This last part about the lemon is purely speculation though.
