This song seems to be about gambling on some sort of race, or maybe fixing a race. There are definitely allusions to gambling:
"And I thought my heart would break when you doubled at the stake"
And there is a referenc to racing:
"With your figure and your face / strutting out at every race"
Also, there are allusions to being famous, or at least having sycophant admirers:
"Your admirers on the street got to hoot and stamp their feet"
There are possible references to a horse, or a "star" that is making them rich and famous who is winning these races.
"In the heat from your physique"
"Getting fat on your lucky star"
Finally, it's suggested that the people involved are pretentious, high society types:
"Got to truck with the la-di-da"
And maybe they're a bit hypocritical? People in glass houses should not throw stones, the saying goes. Or maybe this is a reference to a toast.
"Throw a glass around the place"
It all seems to add up to rich, pretentious gamblers, possibly gambling on horse races.
