Matthews seems to be addressing some girl who neglected him. Perhaps she is a love interest who found her own fame and fortune, and subsequently felt that she didn't need him anymore. She was "making quite a sound" and "having quite a ball". Now that last stanza is hard to analyze. Maybe he means "an individual person" when he says "soul"? Beats me.
Very enigmatic song indeed. I love the piano - it perfectly complements the mystifying atmosphere.
