Lyrics River In A Cage - Rusted Root

River In A Cage

Well through the window she comes
And through the window she comes
She got a little rope tied, tied to her leg
And where it leads to, I don’t know
But you can hand your babies up to the higher ground
And to the hairy one’s blessed upon the crown
I’m comin' down like a river in a cage
The monkey see, the monkey do
I’m comin' down like a river in cage
I’ll run my hands through you
And the walls begin to howl
And the walls begin to howl
For my lady run, nothing left but her scent
Oh gracious mother, oh gracious light
Speak to me inside your womb
Oh gracious father, hold me to the higher ground
So comin' down like a river in a cage
The monkey see the monkey do
I’m comin' down like a river in a cage
I’ll run my hands through you
I’m comin' down to what you say, hey, hey
I’m comin' down to what you say, hey, hey
I’m comin' down to what you say, hey, hey
I’m comin' down
And many dreams will be spoken
To walk along in your breath
And many freedoms chosen
To lift the law outta your bed
I’m comin' down, down to see the world
Tell em' that who am I
I’m comin' down, down to see the world
Tell em' that who am I
No, oh
