Heroes Lyrics - Singles - David & David

Fifteen long years on a losing streak 

And a lot of bodies unburied 

And there comes a time 

When you cannot turn the other cheek 

You have got to ride the ferry 

Past the battered old bodies of dead, dead dreamers 

Past the tethered and fettered 

And desk bound schemers 

The punks and the drunks and the bad guitar players 

And the dewy eyed teenage dragon slayers 

You come to this place where you can say 

I just want to work with you 

As we do the things that we know we have to do 

Ever hopeful and ever blue 

We do the things that we know we have to do 

And though we all know deep down in our hearts 

That someday this will all fall apart 

For right now let's just be heroes 

The telegraph man took a break today 

He pulled out all the wires 

He looked out the window at the rainy, rainy day 

And he wondered about the future of fire 

As he leaned back in his chair 

With a long cold fishy eyed stare 

He looked like December until he remembered 

The day he'd said I just want to work with you 

As we do the tings that we know we have to do 

Ever hopeful and ever blue 

We do the things the things that we know we have to do 

Yeah, we both know deep down in our hearts 

Someday this will all fall apart 

For right now let's just be heroes
