The Dismemberment Plan

Ellen And Ben

Ellen and Ben

They met at someone's house warming party

They didn't like each other at first

I was still there

I heard them talking as they found their rain coats

They made a date expecting the worst

When Ellen got home she made a snack

And went up on her rooftop

And didn't think about Ben at all

She stayed up for hours just watching all the drunk folks find their taxis

'cause all in all it was a good night

Soco (southern comfort)in bed, a sunny Sunday watching John McLaughlin

And having sex again and again

I'd stopped by cause Ellen had my copy of Nebraska

They never even put on their clothes

I hung for a while but everytime I tried to ask them something they started

Making out all again

I thougt it was rude

I couldnt tell you why, why

Ellen and Ben they may as well run off to Havana

They simply disappeared for a year

They'd show up at shows

But less and less and saying "hi" to no one

And why they even came was unclear

They got a new place

But Neither of their names were in the phonebook

So no one really knew where they where

I thought it was cheap

But I couldnt tell you why

Yea yea why yea yea

When I was ten I had this book of modern fighter planes with F-15s and MiGs

And headed for a brighter future with ----------

------ the Ocean City girls on the boardwalk singing oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah ye

Yah yah yah

Ellen and Ben I heard they broke up loudly at a wedding and never saw each

Other again

It seems kinda weird, they make each other feel like they could die but they

Couldnt stay the slightest of friends

I'm doing fine, I'm staying busy hanging with my nephew

And trying to keep my eyes on the prize

You know how it goes

And so do I

So call me when you can now

You know how I love a surprise

O yea O yea
