Lyrics Father John Misty

Father John Misty

Everyman Needs A Companion

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

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
