Cover art for One Step Up lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

This song is so perfect. I've loved it since it was released, and it might be my favourite song by him. I was 14 when was released, so needless to say it hits even harder now. :)

The last verse, with the almost film noir dreamy quality when he moves the focus between the bar and the dream, is simply amazing.
