[00:05.46]
[00:24.03] They met at someone's house warming party
[00:29.35] They didn't like each other at first
[00:32.03]
[00:33.25] I was still there
[00:34.22]
[00:34.95] I heard them talking as they found their rain coats
[00:38.19] They made a date expecting the worst
[00:41.05]
[00:42.25] When Ellen got home
[00:43.37]
[00:43.96] She made a snack And went up on her rooftop
[00:47.24] And didn't think about Ben at all
[00:49.81]
[00:50.94] She stayed up for hours
[00:52.11]
[00:52.93] Just watching all the drunk folks find their taxis
[00:55.59]
[00:56.23] 'Cause all in all it was a good night
[01:00.95]
[01:08.75] SoCo in bed
[01:10.00]
[01:10.72] A sunny Sunday watching John McLaughlin
[01:14.70] And having sex again and again
[01:17.06]
[01:18.09] I had stopped by
[01:19.18]
[01:19.77] 'Cause Ellen had my copy of Nebraska
[01:23.13] They never even put on their clothes
[01:26.12]
[01:26.75] I hung for a while
[01:28.06]
[01:28.68] But every time I tried to ask them something
[01:31.73] They started making out all again
[01:34.57]
[01:35.76] I thought it was rude
[01:37.78] I couldn't tell you why
[01:44.19]
[01:47.49] Why
[01:51.42]
[01:53.32] Ellen and Ben
[01:54.36]
[01:55.14] They may as well run off to Havana
[01:58.67] They simply disappeared for a year
[02:00.90]
[02:02.01] They'd show up at shows
[02:03.33]
[02:04.11] But less and less and saying Hi to no one
[02:06.76]
[02:07.36] And why they even came was unclear
[02:10.09]
[02:11.01] They got a new place
[02:12.38]
[02:12.98] But neither of their names were in the phone book
[02:16.45] So no one really knew where they were
[02:18.81]
[02:19.92] I thought it was cheap
[02:21.14]
[02:21.81] But I couldn't tell you why
[02:26.37]
[02:31.63] Why
[02:36.77] Why
[02:40.70]
[02:46.05] When I was ten
[02:46.99]
[02:47.86] I had this book of modern fighter planes
[02:51.41] With F 15s and MiGs
[02:54.00]
[02:54.60] That and a bowl of Breyer’s Mint Chip was life at it's apex
[02:59.78]
[03:01.25] The chewing of pens
[03:03.74] The Ocean City girls on the boardwalk singing
[03:09.38] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah
[03:16.66]
[03:23.82] Ellen and Ben
[03:25.27]
[03:25.81] I heard they broke up loudly at a wedding
[03:28.99] And never saw each other again
[03:31.84]
[03:32.47] It seems kinda weird
[03:34.11]
[03:34.62] They made each other feel like they could die
[03:37.88] But they couldn't stay the slightest of friends
[03:40.95]
[03:41.82] Well I'm doing fine
[03:43.10]
[03:43.73] I'm staying busy hanging with my nephew
[03:47.07] And trying to keep my eyes on the prize
[03:49.41]
[03:50.50] You know how it goes
[03:52.03]
[03:52.65] And so do I so call me when you can now
[03:56.12] You know how I love a surprise
[04:05.07]
[04:07.77] Oh yeah
[04:09.05]
[04:39.29] Oh
