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 a 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
But, you'll never stop, you'll never stop
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 your 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
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock
Between a rock
Between a rock
You gotta roll
Between a rock
Between a rock
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
