"Heroes" Lyrics - David Bowie

1 I, I will be king

2 And you, you will be queen

3 Though nothing will drive them away

4 We can beat them just for one day

5 We can be heroes just for one day

6 And you, you can be mean

7 And I, I'll drink all the time

8 'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

9 Yes we're lovers, and that is that

10 Though nothing will keep us together

11 We could steal time just for one day

12 We can be heroes forever and ever

13 What d'you say?

14 I, I wish you could swim

15 Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

16 Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

17 We can beat them forever and ever

18 Oh we can be heroes just for one day

19 I, I will be king

20 And you, you will be queen

21 Though nothing will drive them away

22 We can be heroes just for one day

23 We can be us just for one day

24 I, I can remember (I remember)

25 Standing by the wall (by the wall)

26 And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)

27 And we kissed as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

28 And the shame was on the other side

29 Oh, we can beat them forever and ever

30 Then we could be heroes just for one day

31 We can be heroes

32 We can be heroes

33 We can be heroes

34 Just for one day

35 We can be heroes

36 We're nothing and nothing will help us

37 Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

38 But we could be safer just for one day

39 Just for one day
