David Byrne & St. Vincent
Cissus
[Verse 1 : St. Vincent]
Cissus, you keeper of the shadows
Scaling my stone, terrace aswarm
In summer

[Verse 2: St. Vincent]
Cissus, you tremble at my window
Winding upward, wind threw your limbs
Asunder

[Chorus: St. Vincent & David Byrne]
Even blooms that blinked now are open
Vines on my fence are now over and out

[Bridge: St. Vincent & Byrne]
Cissus
She will curl to me when I'm folded
Cissus
She will drag the book from my hands

[Chorus: St. Vincent & David Byrne]
Even blooms that blinked now are open
Vines on my fence are now over and out

[Outro: St. Vincent & Byrne]
Cissus, Victorian and tethered
Circle my spire, zenith your heights
Oh lover
