This just came to me.

Black Rock Playa
(ttto: "New York Minute" by the Eagles)

Since this was a really quick job, I left a lot of lines intact.


Billy got up
Headed out the door
Went out to the Playa
Was never seen no more
They found his clothing
Scattered outside the Empire Store
And he won't be down at the office in the morning

He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As the city unfurls
One day he crossed that line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa
Things can get pretty strange
On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the noise camps' beat
Somebody dancing at a rave
Somebody's brittle and weak
You find a camp that partially sane
You better hold it close all week
The wolf is always at the door

On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa
Things can get pretty strange
On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa

And in this time
When darkness falls to fires
And people come home
To this place they love
You better take a fool's advice
And take care of your own
One day they're here
Next day they're gone

I pulled my coat over my shoulders
And took a walk through the Temple gates
Strangers milling around me
The glowing city in the distance waits
A funeral program pinned to a tower
A desperate note from the heart,
"I'm here all alone, please come back"

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
Those days were so much brighter
In the time when we were there
I know that someday next year
We'll make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe...

On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa
Things can get pretty strange
On the Black Rock Playa
Everything can change
On the Black Rock Playa

On the Black Rock Playa...
