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 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 |
'Cos I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am |
| Daddy took a rain check |
| Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need |
| Daddy took a rain check, your daddy took a 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 their 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 our scars |
| Blame it on me, blame it on me, |
| Sugar mice in the rain, your daddy took a rain check |
