There is a great interpretation of this song on the Cup of Wonder website.
I agree with it mostly. However, in the lyrics, I mostly hear the voice of war talking to the people who are about to be conquered or killed.
I think the language the voice is using is basically talking about rape:
-show all of the pleasures and none of the pain.
-join my explosion and play with my games.
-dance in your tea-cup and you shall swim in mine.
-Open your windows and I'll walk through your doors.
-Let me live in your country --- let me sleep by your shores.
I think it's all very sexually connotated.
Lastly, no one, not even Cup of Wonder make the obvious connection of the water to wine Jesus connection. I think this has something to say about crusades and such, forcing Christianity on to conquered nations.
