ITT: albums with absolutely baller opening lines that make you stop whatever the fuck you're doing and go 'that shit's heavy, man'

This whole album is god tier and on that note, the opening lines for 'made-up dreams' get me every time too. Not the album opener but still.
Also, it's not entirely the lyrics, but the opening of Feed Me to the Forest by The Blood Brothers might be my favourite start to an album ever.
Otherwise, Hymie's Basements 21st Century Pop Song
>The one true resolve of the flame and the bullet
>Is a pile of flesh, like an unmanned puppet
>A set of bones gone suddenly still
>>64105230
It really is an excellent way to describe the otherwise unfathomable concept of eternity, it blew my mind slightly when I first heard it
>EAT WHAT YOU ARE WHILE YOU'RE FALLING APART
>AND IT OPENED A CAN OF WORMS
>THE GUN'S IN MY HAND AND I KNOW IT LOOKS BAD
>BUT BELIEVE ME I'M INNOCENT
>I'M FEARFUL, I'M FEARFUL, I'M FEARFUL OF FLYING
>AND FLYING IS FEARFUL OF ME
>I COVERED MY EYES WHEN SHE TOLD ME THE NEWS
>TURNING ME ON WITH MY LIGHTSABRE COCK SUCKING BLUES
>Don't fall in love with me yet we've only recently met
Is a perfect start for 69 Love Songs.

What did he mean by this?
>>64105230
I remember college freshman me actually getting stuck on that line for like a month, especially the next part of it.
>>64105230
>He was so unashamed
>Of how he operated
>Corresponds to the facts that you want
>Despite his expectations
>He turned out mediocre
>His master plan was so, sooo
>OKAY BY NOW I THINK WE'VE ESTABLISHED
>EVERYTHING IS INHERENTLY WORTHLESS
>AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE
>WITH ANY KIND OF OBJECTIVE PURPOSE!

goat album, great lines
>>64105230
just put this on a few minutes ago. comfy album
>Catch a boat to England, baby,
>Maybe to Spain,
>Wherever I have gone,
>Wherever I've been and gone,
>Wherever I have gone
>The blues are all the same.
This whole track has a beautiful set of lyrics, actually. It's a perfect balance of keeping the lyrics simple and relatable, while still conveying volumes about how it is to be depressed, in like a clinical sense.
>I LIVE MY LIFE IN THE CITY AND THERE'S NO EASY WAY OUT
