I was flickin' through the channels on the TV |
|
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain |
|
Tryin' to piece together conversations |
|
Tryin' to find out where to lay the blame |
|
But when it comes right down to it there's no use tryin' 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 callin' me down through the floorboards |
|
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme |
|
To the jukebox cryin' in the corner |
|
While the waitress is countin' out the time |
|
For when it gets right down to it there's no use tryin' to pretend |
|
For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame |
|
Blame it on me, oh you can blame it on me |
|
We're just sugar mice in the rain |
|
'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want, I know what I am |
|
Daddy took a rain check |
|
'Cause 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 sayin', '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 |
|
Clutchin' at straws and nursin' our scars |
|
Blame it on me, blame it on me |
|
Sugar mice in the rain |
|
Your Daddy took a raincheck, your Daddy took a raincheck |
