Father John Misty - Every Man Needs a Companion lyrics

[Chorus] Every man needs a companion Someone to turn his thoughts to I know I do Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Every man needs a companion Someone to turn his thoughts to I know I do Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you [Verse 2] 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 [Outro] Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you
