Sugar Mice (Live)

I was flicking through the channels on the TV
 On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
 Trying to piece together conversation
 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 comes 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
 To 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, oh, 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 feel, know what I want, I know what I need
 Daddy took a raincheck, I say your daddy took a raincheck
 Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
 You can blame it on me, you can blame, 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
 You can blame it on me
