Two of my favorites are from 'Behind The Mask' songs.
"In The Back Of My Mind":
"I remember your eyes burning bright,
Like we touched the Summer sun.
I can see your shadow standing there,
On the streets where we used to run...."
"Freedom":
"It's all in the eyes.
It's all in the way that you look.
It's all in the way that you say very little.
It's all in the way that you talk.
Look at me with daggers --
It won't do you any good.
All the looks that you've used on me,
Don't work now that you've fallen, fallen, fallen...."
But my all-time favorite would have to be the one in "Ghosts":
"To fill the empty spaces she's feeling,
She depends on her music like a husband.
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again.
One day they were lovers,
One day they were friends --
There was nothing else to say...."
