Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?

I just heard one of my favorite verses today:

“In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”

Not necessarily my favourite, but they have a similar amount of wackiness to yours:

Giants hiding in the bathroom Lightning in the living room As Einstein and Darwin do shots with the Greek god jocks The apocalypse is kinda cool. And if you're needing something just ask Maybe Father Time can try to change your past Got Mister Sandman selling dreams by the gram Yeah, they're worth it if you've got the cash.

There is another lyric later that I find interesting:

Grim Reaper in the hallway says he's off the clock, as always. But I don't feel so safe.

I feel like there's some extra meaning behind it, specifically the "as always" bit, but I just haven't figured it out yet.

The song is All Night by Fox Stevenson, by the way.
