Cinderella

Hanging around by fireplaces
Sisters and their smiling faces
They can see your feet through glass
Nobody ever knew how hard it was to walk
Nobody ever knew how hard it was to walk
Nothing around for miles but trees
Sipping water from the creek
I dream of the hatchet's song
In the clearing a miracle to eat
I've never tasted magic so sweet
Nobody ever knew how hard it was to walk
Nobody ever knew how hard it was to walk
And the reason for this light
Is hiding in the dark
They may have stolen this life
But they haven't taken this heart

Draw 50

It starts with the shapes
That turn into bones
A circle, an eye
A triangle nose
Fifty new faces, 100 eyes
Fifty invasions, fifty new lies
I could draw, draw 50
Famous places, or monster faces
I could draw, draw 50
Won't you please
See this for me
Won't you please
Show me how to see
I could draw, draw 50
Famous places, or monster faces
I could draw, draw 50

Fortune Teller

Pick a color
Pick a number
Count it out and turn it over
Fortune teller, fortune teller
Will I be alone forever?
Hands that hide under the pages
You will never see these places
Light as feathers
Stiff as boards
Eyelashes
Four-leaf clovers
Throwing salt behind your shoulder
Fortune teller, fortune teller
Let me life this whole life over
When all the signs point to yes
And our bodies start to rise
Will I see your face in glass
If I say your name three times?
Hands that hide under the pages
You will never see these places
Light as feathers
Stiff as boards

We used to pretend we were spies
We made our calls from pay phones
We'd drive 100 miles at night
To see if they were at home
We saw a face in a window
We heard a baby cry
Your uncle is an imposter
Your cousin's still alive
I made a lonesome journey
I looked into a gun
And then I did the dishes
Some wars are never won
They never would believe us
They never seemed to see
There is no one solution
Life is a mystery
We are invisible as ice
We're always under cover
We're lady dicks, girl private eyes
We're sisters and we're mothers
I went out west to Idaho
I spent time in Missouri
Got left tied up in a tow boat
On the great Mississippi
In party dress disguises
On horseback in the cold
I found the missing diamonds
I solved the secret code
They never would believe us
They never seemed to see
There is no one solution
Life is a mystery
When I hear that Bob-White call
When I see your car pull up

Heike Grüber Boston, Massachusetts
Heike Grüber makes lo-fi pop music for pessimists.
Heike Grüber recommends:
"Good Girl/Carrots" is my favorite song on an album filled with low-key bangers. And, I gotta say, Person Pitch was an inspiration for Stories for Girls.

The top three Animal Collective albums: Feels, Strawberry Jam, and Merriweather Post Pavilion. Prove I lie.
