Ellen And Ben Lyrics - Change - Dismemberment Plan

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
