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 didnt 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
