(between A) Rock And A Hard Place Lyrics - Singles - Cutting Crew

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
