Just pick one, limit it to a couple lines if you can.
Somewhat of an experiment, as much has been said about lyrical quality over the last few albums, so if I get enough replies I would be curious to see to which album/era/song most of your choices pertain. I wonder how the distribution will turn out.
I'll start.
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams. Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.

Well my new one is "When I met you I was all alone.. cold and hungry crying on the phone" but that's for a different reason haha
I love:
"Holy moly baby, wouldn't you know it... just as I was busting loose... I gotta go turn in my rockstar card, get fat and grow old with you" from Falling for you-- but this was close because I love so many!!!

I love this pair of lines because it so succinctly sums up the experience of losing someone you don't want to lose.
I used to sit alone in the dark and drink beer to this the first time a woman (not a girl) broke my heart and I thought I was going to die, but was afraid I might not.
This whole thing, and more, is summed up by Rivers for me in two terse lines. Love it.

"I'm such a mystery, as anyone can see, there isn't anybody else exactly quite like me. And when it's party time, like 1999, I'll party by myself because I'm such a special guy"

Awesome lyrics, I don't even need to explain why, that line is just incredible.
