Everyman Needs A Companion Lyrics

by Father John Misty

Everyman needs a companion
Someone to turn his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e83691-father_john_misty~everyman_needs_a_companion_lyrics.html ]
John the baptist took Jesus Christ
Down to the river on a Friday night
They talked about Mary like a couple of boys
With nothing to lose
Too scared to try

Everyman needs a companion
Someone to turn his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you

Joseph Campbell and The Rolling Stones
Couldn't give me a myth
So I had to write my own
Like I'm hung up on religion
Though I know it's a waste
I never liked the name Joshua
I got tired of J

Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you
