As the first caffeine rush kicks in, he suddenly becomes animated.  The colours in the room seem brighter, the sounds on the radio clearer, his colleagues annoy him less. Everything seems alright for a few minutes.  But, of course, it doesn�t last long. Soon the effect will wear off and he will be plunged back into the usual dull morning routine. 

Well, you�ve got a life
It may not be the one you wanted
Amongst  the hunted and the haunted
Canned laughter  mocks you every day
Try to laugh it all away

The acid burning in his stomach is slightly relieved when he takes a long gulp of milk.  The antacid tablet has helped as well.  The thought of food repulses him, but he knows he must eat something.  A banana, perhaps.   Something which will not make the acid burning  worse. 

Well, you�ve got your dreams
They may not be as clear as they once were
Down through all the years of terror
You don�t expect them to come true anymore
Maybe that�s what dreams are for

In 15 minutes it will be lunchtime.  He is glad that he has the rest of the day off.  He will go and post a letter and then go to the pub.  If there is no one there who knows him, he might not stay too long.

You can walk through walls
You can walk through walls
You can walk through walls
You can walk through walls
