Not necessary a brilliant lyric but I always get chills with this line from "Gone":
'Goodbye...And it's emotional Good night...I'll be up with the sun' |

"What you thought was freedom is just greed." also from 'Gone'. It's nearly impossible to choose though.

Too hard. Not a line, but amazing passages:
THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE "Carnival The wheels fly and the colors spin Through alcohol Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face In a dry and waterless place" HEARTLAND "Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six a highway speaks Of deserts dry Of cool green valleys Gold and silver veins Of the shining cities" LINE: IN GOD"S COUNTRY We'll punch a hole right through the night MOFO Holy dunc, spacejunk coming in for the splash |

Funny, I was actually thinking about starting a thread like this the last few days & kept forgetting!
I have a few that I like....will probably add more later (can't do "single greatest"  )I can lose myself, you I can't live without. I'm only hanging on To watch you go down My love ---- (the kicker is the "my love" tacked onto the end of those sour lines) and most of So Cruel There's a silence that comes to a house where no one can sleep

"Boom-cha!"
Or maybe "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
