“Heroes” (Live 1978)

[Chorus]
I, I would be king
And you, you would be my queen
Though nothing, will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day

[Verse 1]
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is the fact
Ooh yes we're lovers, and that is that

[Refrain]
For nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
What d'you say?

[Verse 2]
Well I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like the dolphins can swim

[Refrain]
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and forever
What d'you say?

[Chorus]
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing can keep us together
We can be there forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
For one day

[Refrain]
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and forever
What d'you say?

[Verse 3]
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall (By the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)

[Refrain]
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes

[Outro]
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
Oh we could be heroes, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

[Audience Applause]
