lyrics

we’re using photographs for hooks - but this town looks better in the books
old south new south paula dean – shamrocks, drunks, and kelly green
this town looks better in the books

i’ve been butchered, battered, and deep fried - sprinkled with a dash of southern pride
served in nouveau restaurants - to the hipsters, snobs, and debutantes
i’ve been butchered, battered, and deep fried

this town has something in the air - just let our days pass without care
sulfur poison drifting by - makes for pretty salmon skies
this town has something in the air

we’ve got good business with our ghosts - let’s raise our glasses make a toast
tourist traps and southern lies - florence martus never dies
we’ve got good business with our ghosts

this town looks better in the books
this town looks better in the books
this town looks better in the books
this town looks better in the books
this town looks better in the books
