Best one liners in lyrics?

Setup:  Can you hear me Major Tom, Can you hear me Major Tom....

The line:  Can you....here am I floating round my tin can.

-David Bowie - Major Tom.

Is there even a word for that type of ingenious word segue?

Until five hours later, I'm chewing
Screwing myself with my hand"

Little feat -old folks boogie (this is the best line, but it's really the whole song)

"And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill"

"And if you never liked pulling teeth
Then why? Why did you tie me in the dentist's chair?"

From Richard Thompson's "Missie How You Let Me Down"

And another contender, the opening lines of the same song.

" Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races."

And Thompson again. From "Bone Through Her Nose".

"Oh, she gets her suits from a personal friend, Coco the clown
She got dustman's jacket, inside out, it's a party gown"

Just about any lyric Roger Waters ever penned. One of my favorites is...

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and every day the paper boy brings more

- Brain Damage, Dark Side of the Moon
