Tuesday Afternoon in the Union Words and Music by Brian Griffin (11-22-88) Tuesday afternoon in the Union, I got a break from class Take the time to grab a bite to eat Run into my good friend Juli B Sitting in the lobby of Micky D's She introduces me to her good friend Bryan I've heard her mention his name before, She's not sure about his feelings for her anymore He only seems to hang around when it is convient I just stay long enough to say hello Then I mention that I've got to go And I leave them to their conversations Thinking maybe he'll clear the air And let her know how much  he cares Or he'll tell her he'll be moving on (moving on) I hope it all works out for the best And there won't be any sad regrets Living on what might have beens Go into the Wizards Den and play the Skill Crane All the prizes there are still the same Orange and black leftovers form Halloween I try to win a elephant for my sweet babe Hoping in my mind that maybe someday I'll fill her home with these pledges of my love On the news there's a story about JFK Twenty five years have passed since his final day But I'm still thinking about what happened to John Lennon It still seems to be  such a crime Pain doesn't fade with the passing time Imagine all the things that could of been Then my mind drifts back to today And an appetite that can no longer wait I turn to go and search for some fast food I wait to go eat in a line Order a cheeseburger, coke and a bag of fries Sit down and comtemplate the reason of the world I could think until all the people go away Sit and think, sit and think until my hair turns gray Then I realize the answer lies in the eyes of every boy and girl You gotta go out and take a chance Don't live your life in a trance The gift of living is not just for the young If you do than in a little while You'll once again you'll have the eyes of a child Then you can start to finally see again Tuesday Afternoon in the Union .
