Lucifer and The Strange
Oh Lucifer, Oh Lucifer
How'd you find my babe
She's lying and denying
She's selling that losing case
That girl was trouble, Trouble out the gate
The liquor stores are open, nobodies home
The people I know they seem so strange
Oh Lucifer, Oh Lucifer
What did ya do to my good friend Hank
He's stealing my money, sleeping with my honey
In a friendly way
That Hank was trouble, trouble out the gate
The liquor stores are open and my girl's home alone
These people I know they seem so strange
I been thinking and thinking
What do I make of this place
either kill em off or move along
This shit can't stay the same
This Town is Trouble
Troubles my middle name
The Liquor Stores are open
And Alice is home alone
These People I know they seem so strange

An Outlaw And His Mask
Am Bassline C,B, A
An outlaw and his mask
Am Bassline G,G, E
will always rebel within
Twisted by circumstance
To become what'll never fit
Wild eyed with a reckless hint
Forced to graze and be content
The magic dies when nothings new
The safety net cages you
C G Am
Chorus: All your life means nothing
When you're so far from your truth
F G Am
2x Ouu, ou ou
When there's truth in the lies
And lies in all those truths
And then it builds like a fire
And then burns out like one too
Chorus: All your life means nothing
When you're so far from the truth
2x Ouu, ou ou
Distractions everywhere
Bathed in convenience
It gets harder to begin
Checking out not checking in
Chorus: All your life means nothing
When you're so far from your truth
2x Ouu, ou ou

Wind Blows
Oceans crash, Thunder Rolls, Lightning strikes, and we all grow old
The Wind Blows
Every soul will be reborn, Every life has a score
The Wind Blows
Karma Comes in many forms, What you give is what you sow
The Wind Blows
There's a calm after every storm, Where everything lost, starts to grow
The Wind Blows
The Coldest Winter has a thaw, but every birth has a cost
The Wind Blows
Work doesn't shy from a calloused hand, Love doesn't bend on its' intent
The Wind Blows
Heartaches fade and regrets change, Time will take, but we have our faith
The Wind Blows

Hope
Em Riff intro
Em G
Love, in the wind
C G F#
It was only the sunrise kissing your face
Em
Again, for a while
It was only the dream dying out
Inside, without love
Burning the edges of the petals as they fall to the
Ground, without love
Nothing ever feels like enough
G D Am C
Chorus: I'm Sending out Hope, To a Lonely Child
G D C
Sitting out here in the middle of the night
Swept, under the rug
By a system that forgot how to
Love, we lost the truth
I was caught in the middle of everything America never wanted to
become, soul less lives
Put your heart in the mirror and tell it to
Love, and in time
I won't end up the one left alone
Em part -2x, Chorus - 2x
Forgive, Mother earth
I'm sorry for all the destruction that we've
Become, Mother earth
I fear for all the things that we don't
Control, Oh Mother earth
We poison, pollute, we take and
Destroy, Mother earth
Karma's coming, have mercy on us all
Em riff, Chorus - 2x
