This album has quite a few Christian references in it, which confuses me being that I am fairly certain they are not Christian. I believe they are used without any real religious connotations or conviction.
This song is a bit ambiguous, but here's a shot in the dark: The "lover" here is a savior or Jesus. The walking down a water slide is alluding to the logical incoherence in religion, or the miracle savior/lover to which the "waiting" is referring to. (It would be physically impossible to "step" down a water slide!)
We are all made from the same elements that can be found in the earth, (mixing of blood and soil), which obviously contradicts the idea of creation. Thus coming from the earth is really "no way to get to heaven". (The title of the song uses irony)
