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
|
|
For 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
|
|
I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
|
Daddy took a raincheck
|
Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need
|
Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
|
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 a raincheck
|
Your daddy took a raincheck
|
