heroes (live)

Singer:bowie, david

i

i would be king

and you

you would be queen

though nothing would keep us together

but we could beat them for ever and ever

we could be heroes

just for one day

you

you could be mean

and i

i'll drink all the time

yes we're lovers

and that is the fact

yes we're lovers

and that is that

though nothing will keep us together

oh we can beat them

just for one day

we could be heroes

just for one day

oh i

well i wish i could swim

like the dolphins

like the dolphins can swim

though nothing will drive them away

oh we could beat them

just for one day

we could be heroes

for ever and ever

what d'you say?

and i

i would be king

and you

you my queen

though nothing can keep us together

we could beat them for ever and ever

we could be heroes

just for one day

oh i

i can remember

standing by the wall

and the guns shot above our heads

and we kissed

as though nothing could fall

and the shame was on the other side

we can beat them

for ever and ever

then we could be heroes

just for one day

what d'you say?

we can be heroes

just for one day

we can be heroes

though nothing will keep us together

maybe we're lying

then you better not stay

bu we could be heroes

just for one day

we can be heroes

just for one day

just for one day
