Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing (feat. RIOPY) Lyrics
[00:00.05] Three white butterflies to know you're near
[00:08.37] I know they think that it took somebody else
[00:13.32] To make me beautiful, beautiful
[00:19.61] As they intended me to be
[00:24.81] But they're wrong
[00:32.24] I know they think that it took thousands of people
[00:37.36] To put me together again, like an experiment
[00:43.82] Some big men behind the scenes
[00:46.82] Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs
[00:52.03] But they're wrong
[00:56.51] God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
[01:01.87] Or an owl to know you're listening, sitting while I'm drinking
[01:08.12] Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
[01:13.84] While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific
[01:22.73] 'Cause I'm good on spirit, warm-bodied
[01:26.28] A fallible deity wrapped up in white, oh
[01:34.95] I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green
[01:38.09] Regrettably, also a white woman
[01:46.34] But I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones (ones)
[01:57.99] If you don't believe me, look at my poetry and my melodies
[02:03.77] Feel it in your bones
[02:10.39] I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones
[02:22.69] Ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah
[02:28.50] Ah-ha-ah, yeah, mhm
[02:35.13] Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
[02:40.77] While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
[02:47.36] God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
[02:52.86] Or a map to know you're fishing, impart on me your wisdom
[03:01.71] It took somebody else to make me beautiful, wonderful
[03:10.74] As they intended me to be
[03:16.32] But they're wrong
[03:20.74]
[03:47.27] Three white butterflies to know you're near
[03:57.61]
