lyrics

(one two three four!)

Dex has my car and Dex is in Nevada
I gave him the keys, that's the part I keep skipping
Everyone warned me, all of them, in writing, with examples
(with examples!)
And I said "he seems nice" which is not a risk assessment

He sends me photos of the car (of the car)
It's having a much better week than I am

Dex has my car!
(my car, my car)
And honestly the car looks incredibly happy
Dex has my car!
This is fine, this is fine, this is genuinely fine

My insurance guy asked "was the vehicle taken without consent"
And I said "no, I actively handed him the keys, enthusiastically"
There was a very long pause on that phone call
(long pause!)
He said he'd never had to tick that particular box

Okay so this is bad.
Nope nope nope.
(pause)
He's bringing it back Tuesday. He says. He SAYS.
(BAND EXPLODES)

Dex has my car!
(my car, my car)
And honestly the car looks incredibly happy
Dex has my car!
This is fine, this is fine, this is genuinely fine

(this is fine!)
