[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
