Renew My Subscription lyrics
by They Might Be Giants
[Verse 1]
Though I don't write a whole lot of letters
I figured I'd better say something now
I saw the thing about the heartsick shut-in
Thought that I should cut in
And tell you 'bout how
It woke me from a lifelong daydream
While I'd been aging, you wrote it all down
And though I recognized the words when I read them
I know I never said them to people out loud
[Chorus]
Renew my subscription
To Desperate Bellowing Magazine
It sure does have a familiar ring
You might say I fit the description
Renew my subscription
To Miserable Freak Show Quarterly
Every back-number I saw spoke to me
Acknowledging it's my addiction
Renew my subscription
[Verse 2]
I wanna be a much better person
Instead I worsen with every day
But there's a drug whose name I'm not sure of
Which I need more of to feel okay
They told me exercise and diet
If I would try it, would cure my ills
But though I'm already past my quota
I want another load o' those magic pills
[Chorus]
Refill my prescription
To whatever that thing is that makes
The carpet stop turning into snakes
In lieu of my coming conniption
Refill my prescription
And free me from where I don't want to be
Standing outside the unopened pharmacy
Before I confirm your prediction
Refill my prescription
