Bishop Dance

Bruce Springsteen

Transposer:

Bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman Did a double-quick back flip and slid across the floor The Catholic traffic flowed freely 'cross the river And fiddlestick fiddled quick out the front door Oh baby dumpling mama's in the back tree If the bow breaks mama might fall Little sad and only baby don't be lonely Mama knows 'rithmatic knows how to take a fall Mama knows 'rithmatic knows how to take a fall And the kids are crying "Flapjacks make'em fat early in the mornin' Little Jack grab your hat hear the breakfast call Muskrat bat a cat kick him in the fireplace There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" like they're born Well maverick daddy got one-eyed bridge She glides like a monkey-mule kicking on the back slide Over hill over hill daddy don't you spill now Papa got a switch stick he's pumping little Bill Papa got a switch stick he's pumping little Bill And Billy he's crying "Tomahawk tomahawk daddy better duck now" The Mohawks the Mohawks they're still out there in the woods Monatuk Ocanuk runnin' through my dreams now With fire on their fingertips and indian screams With fire on their fingertips and feathers made of moonbeams (Instrumental) Well early in the morning the cannoneer cried "I seen the sailor's warning in the western sky" Well mountain man if you can cut me down a fir tree Branches full of candlesticks for baby and me And my darling cried she said "Honey the weathervane Lately it's been pointing the way to heaven Scatterbrains scatterbrains watch out where you fall Champagne champagne a round for all the old choir boys They're busting off the altar chasing Dinah through the hall They're bustin' off the altar chasing Dinah through the hall And the kids are crying "Flapjacks make'em fat early in the mornin' Little Jack grab your hat hear the breakfast call Muskrat bat a cat kick him in the fireplace There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" like they're born (Instrumental) And the kids are crying "Flapjacks make'em fat early in the mornin' Little Jack grab your hat hear the breakfast call Muskrat bat a cat kick him in the fireplace There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" like they're born

Cette chanson évoque une journée animée et pleine de vie à travers des scènes de la vie quotidienne. On y voit une femme dansant avec un homme dans un environnement où règne une certaine cacophonie, mêlant les rituels familiaux aux souvenirs d'une enfance insouciante. Les enfants crient autour de pancakes, des jeux se déroulent et des personnages colorés prennent vie. Les allusions à des éléments plus profonds comme les rêves, les souvenirs et les traditions ajoutent une touche poétique à une ambiance festive. Le contexte évoque un mélange de nostalgie et de célébration, illustrant comment la vie de famille et les petites joies s'entremêlent, même au milieu de l'agitation. Les références à la culture amérindienne et à l'héritage catholique offrent une dimension supplémentaire à cette tapisserie riche en symboles et en émotions.
