Best rock lyric ever?

#861
When I'm cruising in my Cadillac
I gotta have it bad
(Two triple cheese, side order of fries)
I pull on over
Cause I know I'll be glad
(Two triple cheese, side order of fries)
Out comes a waitress with
The gorgeous big teeth
(Two triple cheese, side order of fries)
Right in her hands
My favorite treat

"If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got a hell of a band"

- The Righteous Brothers, "Rock and Roll Heaven" (don't know who the writer is/writers are)

There are a lot of great lyrics. Here are a few of my favorites:

Renaissance - Kalynda
I have held you close to all the times
You've stayed inside my soul
When I am half I think of you
And life becomes a whole

Renaissance - Day of the Dreamer
I stay inside your heaven now, no longer lonely
Once more I'm safe in your arms

Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
It's so erotic when your make up runs

And finally:

The Beatles - The End
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make

We sail tonight for Singapore

We're all as mad as hatters here


(I've fallen for a tawny moor
took off to the Land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen
Walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind
Dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me

We sail tonight for Singapore
Don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die
When you hear the children cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
While making feet for children's shoes
Through the alley
Back from Hell
When you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me.

Wipe him down with gasoline
Till his arms are hard and mean
From now on boys this iron boat's your home
So heave away boys

We sail tonight for Singapore
Take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door
The whole town is made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam
They all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth
Get yourself a dollar's worth
Away boys, away boys, heave away

The captain is a one-armed dwarf
He's throwing dice along the wharf)


In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King

So take this ring


We sail tonight for Singapore

We're all as mad as hatters here


(I've fallen for a tawny moor
took off to the Land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen
Walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind
Dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me)

All TOOL;

"Following our will and wind, we may just go where no-one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end, and may just go where no-one's been."

"Divided I'm withering away.
Divided I'm withering away.
Shine on upon the many, light our way, benevolent sun."

"Repugnant is the creature that would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here."

"So crucify the ego before it's far too late to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical.
And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you, let the words spill through and let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason... before we pine away."

"Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication."
