There's something shaking from my head to my feet

I watch the house lights going off in my street

Real night vision, my only desire

And as it fades to nothing we go


Down in the heart of the nation

Out cause the weekend is calling me in

But I'm trying to follow

The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation


There's someone watching on CCTV

24 hours I'm stuck on a screen

Lost in the shadow they follow me round

And I will fade to nothing as we go


Down in the heart of the nation

Out cause the weekend is calling me in

But I'm trying to follow

The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation


Down in the heart of the nation

Out cause the weekend is calling me in

But I'm trying to follow

The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation
