Sugar Mice - Marillion
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 gets 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
Because I know what I feel
Know what I want I know what I am
Daddy took a rain check
Because 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
I'm not 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 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
Your daddy took a rain check
