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 in bed |
A sunny Sunday watching John McLaughlin |
And having sex again and again |
I had stopped by |
'Cause Ellen had my copy of 'Nebraska' |
They never even put on their clothes |
I hung for a while |
But every time I tried to ask them something |
They started making out all again |
I thought it was rude |
I couldn’t tell you 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 couldn’t tell you why… |
When I was ten |
I had this book of modern fighter planes |
With F-15s and MiGs |
That and a bowl of Breyer’s mint chip was life at its apex |
The chewing of pens |
The Ocean City girls on the boardwalk singing |
Ellen and Ben |
I heard they broke up loudly at a wedding |
And never saw each other again |
It seems kinda weird |
They made each other feel like they could die |
But they couldn’t stay the slightest of friends |
Well 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… |
