This song is interesting in the respect that it has contrasting images of heaven and hell in what is essentially a love song. For example, "paper angels" and "little devils." Also, notice the "furnace wind" and the more benign image of incense. I think he is singing about a love that he cannot help, but that he knows is wrong.
