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
