I've written one story using music lyric. The title, Tuesday Night Music Club, is from Sheryl Crow's 1993 album of the same name. The story itself is roughly based on the imagery in the lyric, but I don't quote the lyric directly. There are a few references to words in the lyric. Maybe the most blatant is:
"Mac was in some ways plain ugly, thought Sharon, but ruggedly masculine. Big hands with thick fingers. As he talked he peeled the label from his beer. Annoying habit, she thought."

I included a blurb at the end stating that it was roughly based on her album. As PennLady pointed out, fair use is a messy area. So is tax law. In both cases, it's best to try to anticipate questions and address them immediately when you are in a grey area. That doesn't protect you, but it often heads off further questions that lead to a legal denial.
