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 |
