for some reason, i got the idea that this song was about resisting the temptation of lust in order to remain pure.
"I could have sworn that I saw you knee-bent..."
the singer comments on how he saw his gf praying, but now she wants to have sex.
"I've got to crucify myself..."if he wants to believe what she is saying about it being ok to do it, he'd have to crucify himself (aka, repent of his sin). He has to obey all the promises he made when he became a Christian.
"I've got to make my bed..."
he says that he has to make his bed (get married) if he's gonna lay with her (have sex). because a disaster is a disaster no matter how you spin the act of sex.
"Cause I confide in wolves at night..."
the "wolves" that he confides in are the falsefaced temptations of earthy pleasures. in order to resist them, he must make his baby girl lonely.
