Sugar Mice Lyrics - Fish

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 

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 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 the rain check 

'Cos I know what I want, know what I feel, I know what I need 

Daddy took the rain check, your daddy took the 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 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 the rain check 

Your daddy took the rain check
