Heroes

I will be king and you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be Heroes just for one day

And you - You can be mean
And I - I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be Heroes for ever and ever
What d'you say

I, I wish I could swim
Just like a dolphin, like dolphins can swim
And nothing is gonna keep us together
And we can beat them, for ever and ever
'Cos we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you're gonna be my queen
Yeah, but nothing is gonna drive us away
'Cos we can be heroes, just for one day
And we're gonna be ourselves, just for one day

I, I can remember
When I was standing, by the wall
And then the guns, they shot over our heads
And then we kissed, as though nothing could fall

Well, then the shame, yeah
The shame was on their side
But we're gonna beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day, we can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, for ever and ever
What do you say?
