Since she is beautiful, there always seems to be someone to help her, probably hopeful for some free action with her later on.
This is a play on Blanche’s famous quote from Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire:
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers
It isn’t the first time Lana makes this reference. In the unreleased song “Kinda Outta Luck”, there is a verse saying
Time to give in to the kindness of strangers.
Baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go
That's the little story of the girl you know Lana Del Rey – Carmen

Carmen is a party girl at heart. Rather than get dressed up because she’s going to a party, she gets dressed up and then hopes to find a party.
This could also refer to her prostituting ways, she dresses up and hopes to find a client.
Maybe it‘s also an allusion to suicide. People who want to commit suicide often wear their favorite clothing when they take their life. (like the often mentioned “red dress“, for example, in Summertime Sadness.)

Coney Island is known for its hot dogs and also its soft-serve ice cream.
Seeing as Coney Island was the original “Sin City” before Las Vegas, being the “Coney Island Queen” could mean that Carmen is the best prostitute.
The soft ice cream links to innocence and youth, as Carmen is only 17, but the second half of the sentence contradicts that as the term “Coney Island Queen” means that Carmen is a prostitute. This tells us that although she appears to be young and sweet, she is not so innocent.

A squeeze box is another name for an accordion, but “box” is also slang for a vagina.
Though considering this box is on her chest, it could really be a reference to her breasts.
The fact that “box” is also a slang for vagina is irrelevant. That part is misleading. At best. Leave that out.
