This song is freaking amazing. That being said, I think it's about how we and the devil are so similar in our desire to be autonomous. I don't really get the liquor tree part, unless it's intoxicating to be in Eden? So, here goes...
First stanza-
Adam and Eve, in the garden, hiding from G-d.
Second stanza-
Tempter approaches, appeals to Eve's intellect and their similarities.
Third stanza-
Adam's gotten into the devil's mindset, and he's suffering the same as the devil... he knows he's naked and he's ashamed, but he's arrogantly proud because he knows he's in charge of himself.
Fourth stanza-
Sympathy for the devil and self? and a longing for Eden once more?
