Solid Rock

Well take a look at that
I made a castle in the sand
Saying this is where it's at you know
Couldn't understand now
If I realised that the chances were slim
How come I'm so suprised when the tide rolled in
I wanna live on solid rock
I'm gonna live on solid rock
I wanna give don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid rock
Well I'm sick of potential
I'm sick fo 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 tou rely on
The bed that you make
That's the one you gotta lie on
When you point you fingers cos you 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 don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid rock
