There's somethin' shakin' from my head to my feet
I watch the house lights goin' off in my street
Real night vision, my only desire
And as it fades to nothin'
We go down in the heart of the nation
Out 'cause the weekend is callin' me in
But I'm tryin' to follow
The tick, tick, tick at the heart of the nation
There's someone watchin' on a CCTV
The twenty-four hours I'm stuck on a screen
Lost in the shadow, they follow me 'round
And I will fade to nothin'
As we go down in the heart of the nation
Out 'cause the weekend is callin' me in
But I'm tryin' to follow
The tick, tick, tick at the heart of the nation
Down in the heart of the nation
Out 'cause the weekend is callin' me in
But I'm tryin' to follow
The tick, tick, tick at the heart of the nation
