One can say this song is about a stripper, a prostitute or whatever, it doesn't really matter. It's a very emotional, physical song that tugs at different feelings to most of the album and Springsteen's catalogue. Whereas much of Darkness on the Edge of Town is about difficulty, this is about the delusions of lust.
The guitar solo is, along with the one in Incident on 57th Street, the best and most vital in his enormous collection, while the buildup is absolutely stunning. Compositionally this is a masterpiece.
