This song is definitely sad! I mean, "I want to be a Playboy’s bunny, I’d do whatever they asked me to . . . and they would love me like I loved you" and "I want to be a brothel worker, I’ve always been treated like one". The latter verse seems bitter to me.
I think this song speaks of the desire for attention and intimacy which the narrator didn't get in a previous relationship. So the narrator dreams about getting attention and "intimacy" in ways which, in some of the cases, lead to objectification.
