Dire Straits — Solid Rock

[Verse 1] Well now, take a look at that I made a castle in the sand Saying this is where it's at, y'all Couldn't understand now If I realised that the chances were slim How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in [Chorus] Gonna live, solid rock Gonna live, solid rock Wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna 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 in confusion [Chorus] Gonna live, solid rock Gonna live, solid rock Gonna live, I don't wanna be blocked now I'm gonna live on solid rock [Verse 3] Ya know a house of cards Never built for shock You could blow it down in any kind of weather Now you take two solid blocks, two solid rocks You know they're gonna stick Yeah they're gonna stick together [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Yeah, 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 'cause your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you, yeah [Chorus] Gonna live, solid rock I'm gonna live, solid rock I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid rock [Outro] Rock, solid rock, rock, rock, solid rock I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid, solid, solid, solid rock Rock, rock, rock, rock, solid rock Solid rock!
