I think it could be about drugs. Sally could be a street name for speed, for instance... Rereading the lyrics, there's lots of talk about burning and flames, running fast but not running away, Down the street where they offer the deals, taste from the hand that feeds, feeling something grow from a whisper to a shout with a fist in the air... it all sounds like drug use. (Check out Tori Amos' song Horses about heroin - very similar in metaphor)
