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
Cause I know what I feel know
What I want I know what I am
Daddy took a raincheck
Cause 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 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 raincheck
Your daddy took a raincheck
