lyrics

Limestone mountains in the fog
Roadside tombs and the stench of progress
Playing cards littered in the road
Thin line of blood in the dust on the pavement
Fifteen horses pull our boat of bamboo
Down the river to the city at dawn

Nine horses watch the man go home
To the city in love with a factory girl
He died while he was working on the road
To help his village connect to the outside world
Now Jingle Bells playing in our hotel lobby
As they put the man's body in the hill

12/25 in the PRC
12/25 in the PRC
Died trying to set the good people free
12/25 in the PRC

Colorful umbrellas in a line
Funeral procession snakes down the hillside
Shouts and the steady whine of pipes
Trash can cymbals clang to chase away the spirits
Mourners roll a stone over the dead man's tomb
As we celebrate the birthday of the Lord

12/25 in the PRC
12/25 in the PRC
World keps turning on in front of me
12/25 in the PRC

Flatfoot Michigan

"lately, live Flatfoot has been all about out-rocking the competition knees and elbows flailing wildly and somebody (it doesnt seem to matter who) howling a campfire tale gone wrong into the microphone." Cale Sauter, Lansing City Pulse.

Flatfoot is Dan Amori, Aaron Bales, Tom Green and Thomas McCartan. We love the twangy soul and the rock 'n roll.
