Well, as an actual comment on the meaning, here goes.
This song is pretty straightforward. It's about rich children whose "parents ain't around enough," and who enjoy the freedoms that coming from money allows. I like to think that this song was inspired by "The Great Gatsby" in that the protagonist is "looking for real love" but ends up disillusioned. This disillusionment is great enough to push the narrator to the brink of suicide almost every time he gets drunk. Eventually, this habit catches up to him; his sleeve rips as his girlfriend tries to pull him back off the ledge.
This is a really sad song. It's my favorite now.
Also, I love the piano. It reminds me of "Benny and the Jets".
