Tom John Hall - At The Office Lyrics

Morning avoidance schemes, you're rife with ideas
One: Shut your eyes and just pray when they open
No one will be here

It feels like falling
As you count up the years
Thought you'd feel safe in executive clubs
But in case of emergency
You'll only be further up

At five, you've a new lease of life
At least you still have your nights
Man alive

At the office
Begs the question
Were you always this strange?
Always take your lunch outside even when it's freezing
At the office
Forty people
You would never see again
If you had the choice, wouldn't be much point
You don't see any reason

And you've had plenty of Sundays to conquer the fear
It's box sets and cigarettes for some
But for you it's the beer
Oh, well I'd love to stay
But I can't stay here
Work in the morning, formula for sleep
7, 6, 5 hours counting me out for the week

You survived, your weekend has arrived
Hope you enjoy it this time
Man Alive

At the office
Begs the question
Were you always this strange?
Always take your lunch outside even when it's freezing
At the office
Forty people
You would never see again
If you had the choice, wouldn't be much point
You don't see any reason
