The misfits are cult rock and roll
Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole.
Meet the Feebles is a film cult classic
It?s basically unknown but some say it?s fantastic.
Most women that I meet seem totally unphased
?Til sometimes there?s somebody who seems totally amazed.
I may not be in magazines as a heart-throb face
But in a few devoted hearts I?ve found a strong fanbase.
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a lady in the know
When you?re a cult boyfriend life?s always intense
They love me or they hate me no one?s on the fence

Cerebus is cult comic book series.
It?s got fans but it?s never found in movies or in theories.
WFMU is a cult radio station
Always tuned to by a few devoted fans around the nation.
For every time I couldn?t get a second date or even first,
Why does one think I?m the best when all the rest think I?m the worst?
All of those times no one at all wanted to know.
If I?m really all that awesome wouldn?t more people think so?
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me,
It?s always been quality not quantity.
A cult boyfriend?s like a record in a bargain bin
No one knows its worth ?til a collector comes in.

Hmm, who are some cult literary names I could honour?
Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery O?Connor.
Haggis and fugu, that?s like food for cult eaters.
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Father Yod, they?re cult leaders.
Anyways the point being, do I have to magical?
Can?t we date a few months and then move on normal and casual?
Suicidally alone and then totally smothered ?
It?s so much pressure when you go from one extreme to the other.

And this song probably ain?t gonna go very far beyond an open mic.
It?s guaranteed though, two or three people are really gonna like it.
