To start off, the lyrics for this song are wrong. They've been kind of pieced together so far. But anyways....to me this song is about Religion AND sex. Clues: "Take off them rings" -Take off a marriage ring...its not needed. :Off them holes" - Maybe an obscure reference to the holes in Jesus's hands from the cross....as in saying to take off religion. "Elevator Lady, Levitate Me" -This seems to be someone controlling the proverbial elevator between heaven and hell. "Shakey shake...hey shakey!" - This seems to be reference to a religious group, known as the shakers. "Come on pilgrim, you know he loves you." This can be taken two ways...a strictly religious way, or a religion and sex way. The completely religious way would talk about "he" being jesus. saying "come on pilgrim, you know jesus loves you." this would be taken then as sarcasm. The religion and sex way would be someone saying "come on pilgrim, you know he loves you." as in come on, he loves you so have sex with him. I may be wrong, but I think the pilgrims came over for religious freedom, so i think they both could go hand in hand.
