Best rock lyric ever?

This is by FAR the best one for me.

A few other ones that come close:

1) One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity


2) She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit
The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in even the
Oldest of tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days
The sight was beyond belief
Many a head snapped for double--even triple--takes as this vivacious
Feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most
Virile of the young tabbies were known to hang out
They hung in droves
Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place
And that was O'Malley's Alley
The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended)
But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into
The heart of the alleyway
She knew what she wanted
She was lookin' for that stud bull
She was looking for that he cat
And that was me
Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee

3) I never thought it would end like this
Just because I've got no boobies
I'll shave my legs, I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my penis off for you

Spot Check Billy got down on his hands and knees
He said, "Hey Momma hey, let me check your oil, alright?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight
Come back Monday, yeah, you come back Tuesday
And then I might"

Don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes
Don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die trying
Throw me a line, throw me a dime
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan

Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Part 2
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside
There behind a glass
Stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass
Move along! Move along
Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell, or Earth
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll
Right before your eyes
We'll pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries
Then he dies, then he dies
You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll
Soon the Gypsy Queen
In a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene
Next upon the stand
Will you please extend a hand
To Alexander's Ragtime Band
Dixieland, Dixieland
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up
See the show
Performing on a stool
We've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool
We would like it to be known
The exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own
All our own. All our own
Come and see the show
Come and see the show
Come and see the show
See the show
See the show

...seems that when some innocents die, all we can offer them is a page in some magazine.
Too many cameras and not enough food, this is what we've seen...
- Driven to Tears, The Police

And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone. Dragged down by the stone
- Dogs, Pink Floyd

Hello.
I've waited here for you.
Everlong.
- Everlong, Foo Fighters
