Everyman Needs a Companion - 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

Oh, oh

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, oh

Oh, oh

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

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
