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

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
'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 beat them for ever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
What d'you say?

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
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
Ooh
We can be heroes just for one day
