I honestly think this song is about having sex in different places across the Manhattan. I especially got that from:
"You've waited since lunch/It all comes at once."
Which is followed by the raucous AHHahh Aahhhaaa woowoo's of the chorus, which could themselves represent the actual deed.
Hearing "The elderly sales clerk won't eye us with suspicion/ The holy motor corporation is giving it's permission" I thought it had to do with walking past a the desk in the building, nonchalantly, with the intention of actually having sex somewhere inside.
"Ask all the right questions
While all the horses race the taxis in the winter
Look up at the buildings imagine who might live there
Imagining your wolfords in a ball upon the sink there" seems to lend itself to being about the silly, empty banter between a lustful couple, as the girl is really just imagining another place for their deviant hobby.
I think you're spot on there. Especially when you consider the lines

"A pair of mirrors that
Are facing one another
Out in both directions
A thousand little Julias
That come together"
"A pair of mirrors that
Are facing one another
Out in both directions
A thousand little Julias
That come together"
They're having sex in a change room, and the last bit about the wolfords is them pretending to look at the buidings, and ask all the right questions, while really just imagining how her pantyhose would look balled up in one of the building's bathroom sinks
