That is one of my favourite songs. I have always interpreted it as Taupin's disillusionment with New York. NYC can seem so glamorous and full of promise, but there is a danger and darkness there as well, and if you don't realise that quickly, people will take advantage of you. I think this is his expression of seeing the reality of the city (and maybe the world in general) and yet still wanting to continue and make a life there.
