Sugar Mice

I was flicking through the channels on the TV
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
I was trying to find out where to lay the blame

But when it comes right down to it
There's no use trying to pretend
Oh 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 sugar mice in the rain
Rain rain rain down on me

I heard Sinatra calling me down through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox that's crying in the corner
While the waitress well she counting out the time

Oh but when it gets right down to it
There's no use trying to pretend
Oh 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 sugar mice in the rain
Rain rain rain down on me
Let it rain
Let it rain rain rain rain down on me
Let it rain
Let it rain
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Let it rain
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Let it rain

Well the toughest thing I ever did
Was when I talked to the kid on the phone
When I heard her asking questions
Well I knew that you were all alone
Can't you understand that the government
Well she left me out of work
And I just couldn't stand the looks on the faces
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 our scars

Blame it on me
Well you can blame it on me
We're sugar mice in the rain
Rain rain rain down on me
Let it rain on me
Rain rain rain rain down on me
Let it rain
Rain down on me (down on me down on me down on me)
Rain down on me (down on me down on me)
Rain down on me (down on me down on me down on me)
