Dire Straits - Making Movies (Remastered)

Solid Rock

Well, now take a look at that I made a castle in the sand
Saying "This is where it's at", you couldn't understand now
If I realized that the chances were slim
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in?

Gonna live on solid rock
Gonna live on solid rock
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, in confusion

Gonna live on solid rock
Gonna live on solid rock
Gonna live, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid rock

You own a house of cards, never built for shock
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
Now you take two solid rocks, two solid blocks
You know they're gonna stick
Yeah, they're gonna stick together
Oh-oh-oh

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 gotta lie on
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through
You got three more fingers pointing back at you yeah

Gonna live on solid rock
I'm gonna live on solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna feel blocked
I'm gonna live on solid

Rock, rock, solid rock
Rock, rock, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid

Rock, 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
Solid rock, rock
Solid rock, rock
