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 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 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 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
