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
