Confuse Ions


I woke up one morning with the sun in my eyes
To what I thought would be a normal day
The night before I spent some time with you
I thought everything would be OK
Question asked do you feel alright
Directed towards me
Question asked what is the date
It's 10-16-1973

I'm thinkin clear or so it seems
But the fruits of my actions appearantly
Prove to me I am confused
And I believe it's because of you

Greg Marchese: I believe there are confuse ions in the air that seem to disturb this young man's ability to rationalize.

Ron Neville: Beta Sigma Gama Siga Gu Plut Oves Sumus

I hope this song doesn't make your presence extinct
Perhaps like me you won't know what to think
It's just your number is my favorite one to dial
I like to joke and I like your smile
I play my guitar and begin to drool
I'm like a geek though I feel real cool

This confuse day I made something to eat
I made a hot dog out of turkey meat
I asked my best friend if he knew my name
He said I'm not sure you don't seem the same
I went in the studio for a minute or two
My best friend came back and said "What's wrong with you?"
I asked what's the problem, give it to me straight
He said, (Michael Gabbitas)"Since when do you put weenies in the cupboard with the plates?"

I'm thinkin clear or so it seems
But the fruits of my actions appearantly
Prove to me I am confused
And I believe it's because of you

1989: This is the first song I wrote for Elaine. I paid my rent share with a check and dated it October 16, 1973. I don't think it was the 16th, or October. I put the hot dogs in the cupboard after I fixed my Lunch, and I did drool all over myself when I was playing my guitar. We had been studying positive and negative ions, and Micheal Gabbitas came up with this theory about ions that disrupt the others and then people get confused- confuse ions. I definitely had them about my aura. I got all the roomates to participate. I played this for elaine to invite her to a formal school thing. She said Yes.

Funny, funny song. I like this one (I think Michael used to tell me he was the one with the "confuse ions" line, we all know he exaggerates though.)

I think I could hear Michael's voice in the first barbershop-ish Auld Lang Syne bit. (That's not a compliment for barbershop singing, sorry Michael.)
