Lyrics for Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing (feat. RIOPY)
Three white butterflies to know you're near I know they think that it took somebody else To make me beautiful, beautiful As they intended me to be But they're wrong I know they think that it took thousands of people To put me together again, like an experiment Some big men behind the scenes Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs But they're wrong God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies Or an owl to know you're listening, sitting while I'm drinking Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific 'Cause I'm good on spirit, warm-bodied A fallible deity wrapped up in white, oh I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green Regrettably, also a white woman But I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones (ones) If you don't believe me, look at my poetry and my melodies Feel it in your bones I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones Ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah Ah-ha-ah, yeah, mhm Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies Or a map to know you're fishing, impart on me your wisdom It took somebody else to make me beautiful, wonderful As they intended me to be But they're wrong Three white butterflies to know you're near
