Today, 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
