It's a tough question.  I love Jeff Buckley's lyrics, and Dylan is the master.  I also love a lot of Springsteen's lyrics.

I'm not much of a Bruce fan, but Born to Run is one of the best rock songs ever, and the lyrics are even more impactful if you are a New Joiseyan of a certain age group.

Also coming to mind...

Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits
Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Save the Last Dance For Me - The Drifters
Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel.

I can't pick one specific song, but Agalloch have some of the best lyrics I've ever read. They perfectly combine abstract philosophy with naturalistic imagery.

I don't know if the best ever, but one of the topmost ones for me is

Queen - Father to son (lyrics by Brian May)

Pink Floyd - Echoes is pretty much my winner. Trial Of Tears comes very close.

This is as exciting as superluminal neutrinos. The sexy thing is that this actually exists :D
