Lilith Avi Lyrics
Won't you meet me in the garden?
Some call it eden, sharing roles
You were tempted by the serpent man
While I was busy on a cell phone closing the deal
Call out my name, I seem to forget it
I lost my name tag, sinner seminar
You were tempted by the serpent man
While I was busy on a cell phone closing the deal
Call out my name, I'm wasting away
Over a flicker of time
Broke and busted fool, now I know what it feels like
The gods are pickin' steel on the radio
Next to the preachers trying to teach us of the fires below
I'm not going back to extremes
So we'll drag this asphalt river for the body of a story untold
Hey little girl, won't you marry me?
I'm feeling so alone. I know why
Hey little girl, won't you stay away?
I might lose my best friend, I'm losing my best friend,
I lost my best friend to your cause
Now I hear that lonesome song
Now I feel my legs touch the ground
Some call it eden, sharing roles
You were tempted by the serpent man
While I was busy on a cell phone closing the deal
I lost my name tag, sinner seminar
You were tempted by the serpent man
While I was busy on a cell phone closing the deal
Over a flicker of time
Broke and busted fool, now I know what it feels like
Next to the preachers trying to teach us of the fires below
I'm not going back to extremes
So we'll drag this asphalt river for the body of a story untold
I'm feeling so alone. I know why
Hey little girl, won't you stay away?
I might lose my best friend, I'm losing my best friend,
I lost my best friend to your cause
Now I feel my legs touch the ground

I've been trying to figure out what this one's about. Here is my take.
The stanza beginning "Hey little girl..." gives the impression that the songwriter's former best friend dated and married a very religious girl, and this led to the ending of the friendship. I would say this is the core idea of the song, and the reason it was written. The rest of the song consists of criticisms and jokes about extreme beliefs, with some obvious biblical imagery.
I think "The gods are pickin' steel on the radio" refers to old heavy metal bands (Maiden, Priest) which represent one extreme (anti-religious), as opposed to the fire and brimstone preachers who are on the other extreme. The "story untold" line refers to the idea that the real truth of the matter has yet to be discovered.
I'm not sure about the "busy on a cell phone closing the deal" line - maybe it refers to a specific detail of the falling out between the former friends.
I like your take, Astronaut; Definitely a lot of references to religion
