best song lines ever

"I'm just another rhyme-rider, spittin' my diatribe on synthesizers" - The Melodics, Donkey Kong Suicide

This lyric has such a sweet rhythm.

And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water,
And He spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower,
And when He knew for certain that only drowning men could see Him,
He said “all men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them.”
- Leonard Cohen – “Suzanne” (Check out Nina Simon’s version It’s *amazing*)

Best song lines... just about everything from Tom Waits. :)

You checked yourself out when you put me to bed
And tore that old band off your wrist
But you came back to see me for a minute or less
And left me your ring in my fist
My hair started growing, my face became yours
My femur was breaking in half
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream
So instead, I just started to laugh

- The Antlers, "Shiva"
