lyrics

(one two three four!)

Dex is in Reno and the car is apparently thriving
He sends photos with captions like "she loves the desert"
SHE. He has gendered my car. He has named my car.
(named my car!)
Her name is Bethany. I did not choose this. Nobody consulted me.

I should be angrier (be angrier)
Bethany looks incredible though. Genuinely. Look at her.

Reno! Reno!
(Reno, Reno)
My car is having the year of her life without me
Reno! Reno!
And I am somehow proud, which is a diagnosis

Raymond from insurance says this is "highly unusual"
Raymond has been extremely patient with an unusual client
He asked if I wanted to press charges and I said "against Dex?"
(against Dex?)
And there was that pause again. Raymond does a great pause.

Okay so this is bad.
(pause)
Nope. Nope nope nope.
(pause)
I'm flying to Reno. That is the decision. That's happening.
(BAND EXPLODES)

Reno! Reno!
(Reno, Reno)
My car is having the year of her life without me
Reno! Reno!
And I am somehow proud, which is a diagnosis

(this is fine!)
