Sounds like another drugged out day on the Cote D'Azure.

It's called stream of consciousness. Not all lyrics have to make linear sense or be "about" something. See "Bob Dylan".
One of my all-time favorite Stones tracks, by the way...

Well explained, Tele! The lyrics have nothing to do with drugs. Some people seem to think that Exile is a 'drugs and money' album. They're wrong imo. Btw: one of my favourites too, especially the last part

Actually, no I'm not sure they're right.
This is how I always heard it (though I'm really bad at interpreting lyrics - especially Mi9ck's and especially on Exile!)
No good, can't speak, wound up, no sleep.
Sky diver, insider, skip rope, stunt flyer.
Wounded lover, got no time on hand.
Fun-less soccer, thrill freak Uncle Sam.
Awful business, know you'll understand.
The Judge and jury walked out hand in hand.
Dietrich movies, close up boogies,
Kissing c*nt in Cannes.
Grotesque music, million dollar sad.
I got no tactics, got no time on hand.
Lips who shove her, tried to muff her,
Sinking in the Seine.
Fade out freedom, staying in here,
What's that hat in black.
Fainted got picture, got no time on hand.
What do you hear? There's quite a few lines where, listening back, I just can't make it out...

Yes, those are the same lyrics that I posted up on my earlier post. However, I don't think that these (or indeed the ones I posted just now) are 100% correct. I'm hoping we can come to a consensus.

"Dietrich movies, close up boogies
kissing kunt in Cannes"
I don't hear this nor do I think Jagger would be so crass - at least at that time. I think he sings "Kissing cut in cans". It is a reference to film making ie, to make a film cut, film canister, etc which is why there is a reference to Dietrich in the line before
