It seems to me to be about how the good and the bad kind of intertwine, and how this is difficult to express, but maybe just kind of superficial anyway.
It's good to have a friend, but he's a car dealer, and you only talk a couple times a year. That sets up the whole thing, like these kind of superficial conversations you have with people, that could go deeper, but don't. "Pretty good, not bad, can't complain. Actually, everything is about the same"
He meets a girl from Venus, a goddess, insides made of gold, like the epitome of feminine beauty, but, it's not a love song to her, it's just a stanza. It's great to have been there, but she did what she did.
Apparently Molly was a Labrador that ran off and came back with puppies, but mixed breed. so, kind of a mixed blessing like everything else in this song. I liked this song, but that verse seemed out of line, until I learned that dog story. It made the song almost self referential, it sounds bad, but it's not, but it's not good either.
The mixed blessing theme is then reinforced with the mish-mash of religious references in the last verse. Each has their good and their bad, and in the end they're all pretty similar.
