I Contain Multitudes

Today and tomorrow, and yesterday, too
 The flowers are dyin' like all things do
 Follow me close, I'm going to Balian Bali
 I'll lose my mind if you don't come with me
 I fuss with my hair, and I fight blood feuds
 I contain multitudes
 Got a tell-tale heart, like Mr. Poe
 Got skeletons in the walls of people you know
 I'll drink to the truth and the things we said
 I'll drink to the man that shares your bed
 I paint landscapes, and I paint nudes
 I contain multitudes
 Red Cadillac and a black mustache
 Rings on my fingers that sparkle and flash
 Tell me, what's next? What shall we do?
 Half my soul, baby, belongs to you
 I relic and I frolic with all the young dudes
 I contain multitudes
 I'm just like Anne Frank, like Indiana Jones
 And them British bad boys, The Rolling Stones
 I go right to the edge, I go right to the end
 I go right where all things lost are made good again
 I sing the songs of experience like William Blake
 I have no apologies to make
 Everything's flowing all at the same time
 
 I live on the boulevard of crime
 I drive fast cars, and I eat fast foods
 I contain multitudes
 
 Pink petal-pushers, red blue jeans
 All the pretty maids, and all the old queens
 All the old queens from all my past lives
 I carry four pistols and two large knives
 I'm a man of contradictions, I'm a man of many moods
 I contain multitudes
 You greedy old wolf, I'll show you my heart
 But not all of it, only the hateful part
 I'll sell you down the river, I'll put a price on your head
 What more can I tell you? I sleep with life and death in the same bed
 Get lost, madame, get up off my knee
 Keep your mouth away from me
 I'll keep the path open, the path in my mind
 I'll see to it that there's no love left behind
 I'll play Beethoven's sonatas, and Chopin's preludes
 I contain multitudes
