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
