(Between A) Rock and a Hard Place

Between a rock

Between a rock and a hard place

There's a beating heart

Watching the lights go down on my world

Stoney faced

Letting the rope slip though my fingers

Ain't nothin' straight, always a riddle

Caught up in the middle of the party line

I got a brick but I can't find a window

Take me to your shelter...

Between a rock

Between a rock and a hard place (you better lay your money down)

You'll never stop

What you started in the first place

Between a rock

You gotta roll with the punches baby

Between a rock and a hard place...

There's so many words

You place your bet you take your chances

The dealer pays

But he'll never let you leave the table

They're gonna take you lock, stock and barrel

Down to the knuckle, down on your luck

And when they've stripped you of all resistance

You can take you place...

Between a rock

Between a rock and a hard place (you gotta lay your money down)

You'll never stop

What you started in the first place

Between a rock

You gotta roll with the punches baby

Between a rock and a hard place...

It'll take all your money

We think we like it here

Between a rock (you gotta roll with the punches baby)

Between a rock and a hard place
