Lyrics

[Verse 1]

But you can be mean

I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers

That is a fact

Yes, we're lovers

And that is that

[Verse 2]

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be heroes, just for one day

What d'you say? I say

[Verse 3]

I, well, I wish I could swim

Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim

[Verse 4]

Though nothing will keep us together

We can beat them forever and ever

We can be heroes, just for one day

What d'you say?

[Verse 5]

And I, I would be king

And you, you would be my queen

[Verse 6]

Oh, nothing would drive them away

We can beat them forever and ever

We can be heroes, just for one day, yeah

[Verse 7]

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, standing by the wall (By the wall)

And the guns, the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)

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

[Verse 8]

And the shame, it fell on the other side

We can beat them forever and ever

We can be heroes, just for one day

What d'you say?

[Verse 9]

We can be heroes, I say

We can be heroes, I say

We can be heroes, what you say?

We can be heroes

[Verse 10]

Although nothing and no one will help us

Then maybe we're lying, then you'd better not stay

But we would be safer, just for one day

[Verse 11]

Oh oh oh oh

Yeah, yeah

Oh oh oh oh

We can be heroes

Oh oh oh oh

We can be heroes, yeah

Yeah, oh oh oh oh

Just for one day
