It's from the movie Performance, and I'm fairly certain the lyrics
have a lot to do with the film.

Generally speaking, it is about white collar and/or corporate decadence. In the
movie, it is sung by Jagger while he is doing a strip tease on a long table in
a corporate meeting room. At the table are several businessmen who also dance
and take their clothes off.
The song is written by Ry Cooder and there is a soundtrack album. I've never
heard the song anywhere else.

This song was recorded as part of the "Performance" sound track. If you
are a Stones fan and haven't seen this movie, run out and find it. Jagger
sings the song dressed up like a businessman with his hair greased back.
And the performance (by the Stones) is much better than the one on the
Klien-infected Metamorphosis album.
"Performance" is a neato cosmic 60's-type film starring James (?) Fox,
Mick Jagger, and Anita Pallenberg, who had recently switched from
being Brian Jones' main squeeze to being Keith Richards'. If you rent
the movie just to see her, you will be rewarded.
