mine is my signature, although I also consider

"the sun's not yellow, it's chicken" awesome
along with about a gabisilwiwlillion or whatever more

what's your favorite?

Too many to choose from, how about:

The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue

and...

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna want to dose.

I like most of the stuff in "Ballad of a Thin Man" cause it makes no sense at all... especially

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"

It's just so odd that it's great

His lyrics are interesting, but a lot of the time I have no idea what the hell he is talking about - lol.

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face ..." - Visions of Johanna

"He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet ..." - Desolation Row

"As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred..." - It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
