best "rock" (or whatever) couplet ever

A sparkled shiny diner
Is a home fir wayward maga
Aghhhh

She tried to hit me with a mop,
And I can't stand it anymore.

otm

look it up in the bookmobile
look it up in the gun rack

god's up in heaven or not there at all
and down on the ground ain't too far to fall

I’ll never know
I’ll never know

rock rock til you drop
rock rock never stop

you opened my mail apart at the seams
Now you know I live beyond my means

Yes, my world's tumbling down, stone by stone to the ground
Please take out the garbage

No more dragging this wormy anus ‘round on shag piles from Persia to Thrace
I've severed my reeking gonads, fed them to your shrunken face

I'll see you around
every hollow has its favorite sound

Oohoohoohoohoohoohoohooh I’m a robot man
Oohoohoohoohoohoohoo I’m a loser

And the white man sold quaaludes to the monkeys
And they all died high up in the tree

some hills are never seen
the universe is expanding

Or is it in his face? – Oh no, it's just his charm
In his warm embrace? – Oh no, that's just his arm

^Good one!

Try to imagine another planet
Another sun
Where I don't look like me
And everything I do matters

And the white man sold quaaludes to the monkeys
And they all died high up in the trees

the charm/arm couplet has always impressed me. i recently got a girl-group comp that has that on it and I'd been struck again by its brilliance just this week!

Every thousand years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Floats just a few yards past the Earth
You climb on your roof
And take a swipe at it
With a single feather
Hit it once every thousand years
'Til you've worn it down
To the size of a pea
Yeah, I'd say that's a long time
But it's only half a blink
In the place you're gonna be

The tenderest girl
I get lost in the trees
And I pass like the breeze
'Cause I'm nothing you've haven't done before

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

there's a thin line between what you do and what you should
every time i cross it i just feel insanely good

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

Heard on WFMU this AM!!

‘tis (almost) the season!

Toss-up for me between these two.

And I need you more than want you
and I want you for all time

But I'm as priceless as a brass ring
That's losing the heat from your hand

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride

Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the sun
Audience of seventeen and noticed not a one
Local Casanova, who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, and break it just for fun

I didn't change my number
I only changed who I reply to

Everything goes when you're dead
Everything empties from what was in your head

I've got six things on my mind
you're no longer one of them

I think I'm in love
Probably just hungry
I think I'm your friend
Probably just lonely
I think you got me in a spin now
Probably just turning
I think I'm a fool for you, babe
Probably just learning
I think I can rock and roll
Probably just twisting
I think I wanna tell the world
Probably ain't listening

I think I can fly
Probably just falling
I think I'm the life and soul
Probably just snorting
I think I can hit the mark
Probably just aiming
I think my name is on your lips
Probably complaining
I think I have caught it bad
Probably contagious
I think that I'm a winner, baby
Probably Las Vegas

I think I'm alive
Probably just breathing
I think you stole my heart now, baby
Probably just thieving
I think I'm on fire
Probably just smoking
I think that you're my dream girl
Probably just dreaming
I think I'm the best, babe, come on
Probably like all the rest
I think that I could be your man
Oh, probably just think you can

i'll use you
and i'll confuse you
and then i'll lose you
still, you won't suspect me

I've been in this here town for a week
At least I've ended up with a freak

You’re really good
At making people feel good
Not because the way you dress
I think it’s in your genes
I know I wish I was

There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like "Damn, it's 7:00 a.m."

It has often been my dream
To live with one who wasn't there

All my friends are junkies
but that's not really true

Some of these memories you can learn to live with
And some of them you can't

If you can't be with the one you love
Love the one you're with

And if you don't love the one that you're with
Why don't you just wait for the one that you love?

The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared

Somebody got lucky
But it was an accident

I got thirteen hours to burn
And I'm going to stay up all night

golden slumbers fill your eyes
smiles await you when your rise

Tobacco's a help because it clears the mind
But like all your friends it is vilified

And you pointed your headlamp toward the horizon
We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn't have his eyes on
