The song is about the marrage of technology and decadence and the alienation and jadedness we feel when we replace real human touch and interaction with tech. The phrase "The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be" references the idea that, through technology, man does not need God, and becomes "holier" (I don't know where people are getting the "gay" reference - "The church of man" is about atheism in this "1984" world.)
The chorus "Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!" referes to the decadent use of future adult toys and drugs, and the two charactors seem jaded by there futuistic acutraments (electric eyes, ray guns), maybe engaging in a little rollplay.
The phrases "Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me" and "Make me baby, make me know you really care Make me jump into the air" is the protaganist's sad atempt in finding happiness in this steril, sex-for-sex's sake, emotion-starved world.
