"Take Me I'm Yours" and "Morning Starship" are the titles of Jobriath songs.
This passage makes me think that in the song, the "morning starship" is death:
"He asks us where this ship will land
But he knows we know it isn't coming down
He knows we know we'll fly so far
Til finally stars hold him in all around
Til he forgets the ground
Til he forgets the crawling way
Real people sometimes are"
It's definitely about some sort of escape.
I think the part about how the fire turns on the narrator may be about AIDS ravaging his body. The destruction in his life has claimed everything else he had so now it's literally consuming him.
