Cutting Crew - (Between A) Rock And A Hard Place Lyrics

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
