I  found another letter
This  one was not much better
From  a girl so long agaon
A  girl I used to know  in Reno
Yea  things they kinda happened
But  I flunked her test or something
Punk  rock cured my misery
She  said it ruined her  and me
Back  in the day
 We played in nineteen  eighty one
What's  done is done
 I thought in nineteen  eighty one
I  should explain the chorus
There  was no future for us
 She made  life feel ok
We  hung out every  day
Then  things got kinda creepy
 She started getting weepy
Our  things grew really odd
As  soon as she  found God
She  moved to Sacramento
Gave  back all my mementos
Stood  there and watched her go
Stayed  with my band  in Skeeno
We  tried to keep things friendly
So  hard when things have ended
Punk  rock blamed for our decline
she  said it ruined her  and mine
 eighty-four
