Heroes Lyrics - Icehouse

I, I wish you could swim like the dolphins 

Like dolphins can swim 

Though nothing will keep us together 

We can beat them forever and ever 

Oh, we can be heroes just for one day 

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 us just for one day 

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 

Oh we can beat them forever and ever 

Then 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 forever and ever 

What d'you say 

I, I will be king and 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 

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
