Lyric discussion by hammerhead_jd 

This song is about the passions a man has for his car. The part in the song "You make a grown man cry Spread out the oil, the gasoline I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine Start it up" Mick Jagger is probably referring to a race car. More than likely a drag car. The next verse about his eyes dialating is what its like at the beginning of the race before the lights turn green. Its just my take on it..but hey, i'm not telling you anything that you dont already know.
