Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing - Lana Del Rey/RIOPY

Lyrics by：Lana Del Rey/RIOPY

Composed by：Lana Del Rey/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 in spirit warm-bodied

A fallible deity wrapped up in white

Oh-oh

I'm folk I'm jazz I'm blue I'm green

Regrettably also a white woman

Oh-oh

But I have good intentions even if I'm one of the last ones

If you don't believe me my poetry or my melodies

Feel it in your bones

I have good intentions even if I'm one of the last ones

Ah-ah-ah yeah ah-ah-ah yeah ah-ah-ah yeah mm

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 your vision 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
