lyrics

may works at a butcher
she likes the sound the cleaver makes
she didn't like it back when she started
but after making it all day every day

all day every day

she'd never really seen a lot of blood
one time her brother fell and skinned his knee
for the first few years it made her feel sick all the time
now she finds it kind of comforting

like a warm bath
all day every day

the first year her stomach was always upset
and she'd cry when they got stock that wasn't already dead
she'd call me on the phone and ask me "how did i get here"
and i'd say "hey, you're ok, it won't be forever"

hello, my name is mabel,
and i like the sound the cleaver makes
