Images in lyrics; your favorites?

There are so many great possibilities I could never pick just one. But this morning I had Cisco playing in the car,(would you believe a cassette) and got reminded of how this, from Zebra Dun, has always stuck with me:
"Then Shorty grabbed a lariet, and he roped the Zebra Dun,
and he gave him to the stranger, and we waited for the fun".
I can look around that scene, and see the smirks on the cowboys faces, thinking that they know what's coming.

Don't tell no tales upon us, we're bad enough without
Don't tell no tales upon us or kick up any fuss
You've been guilty of the same thing, perhaps a whole lot worse.
