DIRE STRAITS LYRICS - Solid Rock

"Solid Rock"



Well take a look at that

I made a castle in the sand

Saying this is where it's you know

Couldn't understand now

If I realised that the chances were slim

How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in



I wanna live on solid rock

I'm gonna live on solid rock

I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked

I'm gonna live on solid rock



Well I'm sick of potential

I'm sick of vanity now

I'm sticking to essential reality now

I don't know what's worse

Try to make a silk purse

Living an illusion living in confusion



Well a house of cards

Was never built for shock

You could blow it down in any kind of weather

Now two solid rocks two solid blocks

You know they're gonna stick

Yeah they're gonna stick together



Because the heart that you break

That's the one that you rely on

The bed that you make

That's the one you gotta lie on

When you point your finger cos your plan fell through

You got three more fingers pointing back at you



I wanna live on solid rock

I'm gonna live on solid rock

I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked

I'm gonna live on solid rock

I'm solid rock now
