Sugar Mice — текст песни (marillion)

I was flicking through the channels on the T.V.
On a Sundoy 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
. . .

`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 and 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 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
blame it on me
sugar mice in the rain

Your daddy took a raincheck
your daddy took a raincheck.
