Best single line lyric in a song?

Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up
 
Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real
 
"There's a light in your eyes that keeps shining.
Like a star that can't wait for the night"

:heart:
 
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge/
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain...
 
Fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat
She don't want a baby who looks like that, I don't want a baby who looks like that
 
He feasted on their lovely bodies like a lunatic and wrapped himself up in their soft yellow hair
 
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife
 
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
 
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to see the look that's on your face
 
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death...
 
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
 
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
 
It's a tie between...

i like johnny's version too, but those are trent reznor's words.
 
"Sometimes I think
Life is just a rodeo:
The trick is to ride
And make it to the bell."

-- John Fogerty, Rock and Roll Girl
 
Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean


The addition of the seemingly throwaway "you know what I mean" kicks it up to the level of genius. It says nothing and everything at the same time.
