Sugar Mice

歌詞

I was flicking through the channels on the TV On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain Trying to piece together conversations, Trying to find out where to lay the blame But when it comes right down to it There's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it There's no one here that's left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain I heard Sinatra calling me down through the floorboards Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme To the jukebox, crying in the corner While the waitress is counting out the time But when it comes right down to it There's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it There's no one really left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain 'Cos I know what I feel, know what I want, I know what I am Daddy took the rain check 'Cos I know what I want, know what I feel, I know what I need Daddy took the rain check, your daddy took the rain check Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me Blame it on me, blame it on me Well, the toughest thing that I ever did Was talk to the kids on the phone When I heard them asking questions I knew That you were all alone Can't you understand that The government left me out of work I just couldn't stand The looks on the faces saying, what a jerk So if you want my address It's number one at the end of the bar Where I sit with the broken angels Clutching at straws and nursing the scars Blame it on me, blame it on me Sugar mice in the rain Your daddy took the rain check Your daddy took the rain check
