Lyrics[]
You bought me a rabbit to keep me company And I'm here in my car and the rabbit's here with me Heading out Highway One, respecting posted speed limits And I've tried to figure this one out but I can't find any meaning in it And I'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures And I'm sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean I'm gonna take this rabbit into Malibu And he'll chew on sourgrass while I wolf down Dexedrine Dexedrine The wind comes through the open window and I button my shirt And the rabbit's riding shotgun, my teeth hurt You sent me a package marked "live animals inside" And the sun's coming up quickly above the rising tide And I'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures And I'm sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean I'm gonna take this rabbit into Malibu And he'll chew on sourgrass while I wolf down Dexedrine Dexedrine
