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
