I respect the idea that the character is simply having a blissful moment inspired by alcohol, but am unsure that this is the way I want to interpret the song.
I believe that this song is laced in painful heartache. The main character lost a woman he loved to another man, a man who appears to be superior in every way. Thus the lyrics are noting this distaste for the other man's attributes: who he is, what he appears to be - and it's everything that the singer is not. A perfect piece of ass, wingspan unbelievable, etc. He's singing out of spite, out of sadness, longing to be both this individual while wishing to distance himself from everything he's describing. This other man has God on his side. He'll be a provider, he'll carry the dollhouse, he'll be with and everything to the woman that the main character loves.
I know it's an odd sort of spin, but listen to it again. It's amazing how it hurts like hell.
