Everyman Needs A Companion Lyrics

Everyman needs a companion
Someone to tell his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Some 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 tell 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

I got hung up on religion
Though I know its a waste
I never liked the name Joshua
I got tired of Jake

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