I adore this song. I became rather fascinated with it for a while. According to Wikipedia, some people think the girl in the song symbolizes Bowie's anima (unconscious inner self described as a female personality). There is another theory that states that she appears in "Life on Mars" and "Wishful Beginnings." I disagree with the "Life on Mars" theory (it could be her, but there isn't much evidence for it), but haven't heard "Wishful Beginnings", so I couldn't say.
Comparing it to his previous album Station to Station definitely could put it into that perspective of representing that aspect of his personality, where as the previous was born from the dark incarnation of Bowie that he was while living addicted on cocaine.
