Warren Zevon's got a million of 'em:

From Desperados Under The Eaves:

Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves


From Splendid Isolation:

Michael Jackson in Disneyland
Don't have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates, Goofy take my hand
And lead me through the World of Self


From Mr. Bad Example:

Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald


From Porcelain Monkey (about Elvis)

Left behind by the latest trends
Eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends


From Disorder in the House:

Even the Lhasa Apso seems to be ashamed

And finally:

If you won't leave me I'll find somebody who will

And he has so many more that really must be read in context of the entire song.

England
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

- Donovan
 
I've hated these lyrics for decades. They are the worst lyrics off all time. Not only do they not make sense, but they almost break every rule of English.

You see I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain


...would probably make a good Pfish song. puffy
It's a little known fact that many of these musicians were imbibing in recreational drug use.
