I deffinetely agree about the sexual undertones. Reading it with that idea in mind I thought of sexual frustration, particularly concerning wanting to repress sexual desires, with "evil heat" being it's symbol. These lines:
"Someday I think I'll cut him down
But it can get so cold in here
And he gives off such an evil heat."
Makes me think hes saying he wants to stop having these desires but they're still wanted like heat is wanted when it's cold. And the last stanza i find the most powerful, like hes giving into these desires and it's hurting him (hence "burning holes into me") but it's wanted ( EX: "Don't interrupt! Don't interrupt!
Flame on! Flame on!") Which would be an example of self destruction, which may come from self loathing, etc. All the usual topics of Nicks lyrics. =]
