[Verse 1] Every time we sink a butterfly Colors fade in a desert sky Threadbare dreams on a clothesline moon Whisper soft, “Fruit of the Loom” Dust kicks up where the strange winds sigh Southern Deseret drifting by Nothing here but a crooked tune Humming low like a “bebop boom” [Pre-Chorus] Static in the radio mind Truth gets lost, we fall behind Say it once, say it twice Nonsense starts to feel like life [Chorus] Bebop a boom, let it all collide All that stupid jive we try to hide Laugh it off, let the meaning die Under southern desert skies Bebop a boom, spin it out of tune Dancing like we’re howling at the moon Nothing real but it feels so right In the chaos of the night [Verse 2] Every thread tells a different lie Woven in as the days go by Simple words but they overconsume Echoed in that empty room Butterflies that we let go down Turn to dust when they hit the ground Still we sing like there’s something to prove Stuck inside this rhythm groove [Pre-Chorus] Signal lost but we still pretend Every break is a twist to bend Call it art, call it noise Call it just a lack of choice [Chorus] Bebop a boom, let it all collide All that stupid jive we try to hide Laugh it off, let the meaning die Under southern desert skies Bebop a boom, spin it out of tune Dancing like we’re howling at the moon Nothing real but it feels so right In the chaos of the night [Bridge] Fruit of the Loom on a flag we raise Wrapped in nonsense, lost in haze If it means nothing, we’re doing it right Turn it louder, kill the light [Breakdown] Bebop—boom Say it again Bebop—boom Where does it end? Jive talk, tick-tock, don’t ask why We’re just passing echoes by [Final Chorus] Bebop a boom, let it all collide All that stupid jive amplified No more sense, no more disguise Just noise beneath these skies
