To me, this is a song about organized religion. Specifically Christianity (big neon crossing), but perhaps just religion in general.
'It's so entertaining and so wonderful, it magically calls for you and you...'
It's like this guy has rediscovered God, and it's just this irresistable pull that drives him, and everyone is welcoming him.
'Saved my soul today.'
The guy feels revived- his soul is saved now, and God seems to have all the answers for what ails him.
'Where there is the spoken word that I can't take,
so I'm the liar, I'm the liar.'
The guy realizes he doesn't like something about this church. Perhaps it's the sermons he disagrees with, but he doesn't like it, and begins to talk about it. People are shocked, and trying to shame him- he's the liar because he disagrees with the church.
'You're so disappointed to find out that the magic was not really meant for you.'
The guy finds his illusion falling, and he becomes disenchanted with the church, and possibly even with God, and returns back to his old, athiestic/agnostic ways.
It can be put into a general formula- person gets really hyped on something, finds there is an aspect that is not kosher, and rejects it returning to what they were before.
