Heroes - Live, December 1978

I, I will be king

And you, 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 do you say?

I,I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins

Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We can beat them

For ever and ever

Oh we can be Heroes

Just for one day

I,I will be kingAnd you

You will be queen Though nothing

Will drive them away

We can be Heroes Just for one day

We can be us Just for one day

I,I can rememberStanding

By the wallAnd the guns

Shot above our heads And we kissed

As though nothing could fall

And the shame Was on the other side

Oh we can beat them For ever and ever

Then we can 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 -
