Best single line lyric in a song?

[Hypoxia]

Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford to buy a pair of mod a-go-go stretch-elastic pants?
There will come a time when you can even take your clothes off when you dance.
Wah wah wah waaaa.....

Tom Waits

I'm a big fan of Tom Waits

From Burma Shave "her hair poured out like rootbeer"

What's cool about Wait's lyrics is the homage that he pays to Alfred Noyes' poem, The Highwayman. Within the second stanza, Waits' lyrics are: "the road was a ribbon and the moon was like a bone"

And if you're interested, here's The Highwayman

Thank You

Looks like I'm here with a guy I judge worse than anyone else/ So I pace/ and I pray/ and I repeat the mantras that might keep me clean for the day

I wasn't fimiliar with Jason Isbell. Get introduction. Thanks

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard:
" How I dearly wish I was not here"

In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come- nuclear bomb.

Not really just a single line, but with Morrissey,
one line is more desultory than the next...

Any line from The Mountain Goats' "No Children" will do, but since I can only pick one:

"I am drowning, there is no sign of land, and you are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand."
