imported air

Reading a lyrics of one song of Blondie I've come across the following expression "She's like a millionaire walking on imported air..." What does actually imported air mean in this phrase?

Thanks a lot.

I think it just sugests the kind of luxury that only a millionaire could afford.

Yeah, that`s true. I didn`t see it from that point of view, now it does make sense to me.
Thanks tdol for your ever so fast replies.

Mind you, you do know the expression 'walking on air', do you?

I think that means being extremely happy, e.g. I was walking on air when I knew I won the lottery.
Am I right?
