I saw it on the news today
you were old you were tired looking blown away
Slow motion by the motorcade,
you walked off on your own, looking so afraid
I wanted to be one of your heroes
I saw you floating brainless through outer realms

I read it on the wall today,
you were cold, you were tired, getting blown away
Slow motion in the pouring rain,
you walked off on your own, looking so afraid
I wanted to be one of your heroes
I saw you floating brainless through outer space
I watched you tumbling backwards down stairways
I saw you in the spiritual doorway

And I don't want to do it over and over
I can see it crashing over your shoulder
Clancy don't sleep alone tonight, under the Milky way
Clancy don't sleep alone tonight, unless you get thrown away

I saw you on the streets today,
you were cold you were tired looking out of place
Slow motion by the motorcade,
you walked off on your own, looking so afraid
I wanted to be one of your heroes
I saw you standing naked in astral plane

I read it on the wall today,
we were cold, we were tired, getting blown away
Slow motion in the pouring rain,
you walked off on your own, looking so afraid
I wanted to be one of your heroes
I saw you floating brainless through outer realms
I watched you tumbling backwards down stairways
I saw you in the spiritual doorway

And I don't want to do it over and over
I can see it crashing over your shoulder
Clancy don't sleep alone tonight, under the Milky way
Clancy don't sleep alone tonight, unless you get blown away
