Dire Straits - Solid Rock lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I'm going to live on solid rock I'm going to live on solid rock I want to give I don't want to be blocked I'm going to live on solid rock [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I'm going to live on solid rock I'm going to live on solid rock I want to give I don't want to be blocked I'm going to live on solid rock [Verse 3] 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 going to stick Yeah they're going to stick together [Bridge] Because the heart that you break That's the one that you rely on The bed that you make That's the one you got to lie on When you point your finger because your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you [Chorus] I'm going to live on solid rock I'm going to live on solid rock I want to give I don't want to be blocked I'm going to live on solid rock [Outro] I'm solid rock now[repeat until fade]
