I don't think there is a murder in this song at all. I think they are divorced and now living in separate houses (she got their old house). He is just so lonely and thinks about her so much that he starts to hear her voice. He just can't take it anymore, so he runs over to their old house (now only her house) and breaks in. She probably had a restraining order or something against him that warranted the jail sentence (if "breaking and entering" in and of itself were not enough). |

I think this one's about young aspiring bands who leave their lives (friends, significant others, etc) behind in search of that lucky break. Sounds like a lonely process that would be too much for a lot of bands... but thank God the E-Streeters stuck with it and got their break. |

I think there's a little more to it than that. This song dips into Bruce's personal life at the time. I think it sort of serves as a bridge between the commercial-success of the Born in the USA album and the central theme of the Tunnel of Love album. Bruce was coming off of his most highly $uccessful album but also during that time had to go through a devastating divorce... |
