The Misfits are cult rock & 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 somebody who seems totally amazed
I might not be in magazines as a heart throb face
But in a few devoted arcs I've found a strong fan base

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 over quantity
A cult boyfriend’s like a record in a bargain bin
No one knows what it’s worth ‘til a collector comes in

Hm, who are some cult literary figures I could honor
Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery O’Connor
Haagus and Fugu, that’s like food for cult eaters
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Fater Yed, 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 the totally smothered
It’s so much pressure when you go from one extreme to the other

I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me
It’s always been quality over quantity
A cult boyfriend’s like a record in a bargain bin
No one knows what it’s worth ‘til a collector comes in

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

And this son ain’t probably gonna go far past an open mic
I guaranteed though two or three people are really gonna like it.

Thanks for posting! I have a few corrections:
It's "in a few devoted hearts," not "arcs"
I believe the third cult leader is Father Yod.
In the last chorus, he says "They're in love or they're indifferent" instead of "They love me or they hate me."
