Heroes (Live Version) Lyrics
Blondie
Lyrics
I, I will be king
And you, you will be king
And 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 me
And I, I do all the time
Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we are
And that is that
Well nothing
Can keep us together
We can steal time
Just for one day
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
What do you say
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins swim
And nothing
Nothing can keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
I, I will be queen
And you, you will be king
Though nothing will drive em' away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I, I remember
Standing, by the wall
The guns, shone above our heads
And we kissed
I saw nothing to fault
And the shade
Was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
(repeat)
