This song is wonderful, but kind of funny in its ambiguity.
Do you realize that if you read it one way, it sounds like lavish praise and adoration laid on a lovely girl? Maybe someone you're in love with, or infatuated with ("the morning is for you, the birds sing for you, the cars crash for you, the world spins for you..."). Very whimsical and romantic in that sense.
But then from another angle, it sounds like a sarcastic jab at the self-absorbed life of someone with a messiah complex or some wannabe starlet. The references to money, diamonds, credit cards, 'Dynasty' (the show), going where the creeps all prey (clubs?) all seem to point in that direction.

I'd like to know what you think about the lyrics.
