(Between a) Rock and a Hard Place Lyrics

Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard placeThere'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 shelterBetween a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
You better lay your money downYou'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 tableThey'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 placeBetween a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
You gotta lay your money downYou'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
