“Heroes” Songtext
von David Bowie

You can be mean, I′ll drink all the time
'Cause we′re lovers and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers and that is that
Oh, nothing will drive them away
We can beat them if we try
We can be heroes just for one day
What do you say?

I wish I could swim like the dolphins can swim
Oh, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
What do you say?

And I would be king and you, you would be my queen
Oh, nothing will drive them away
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day


I can remember standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shade fell on the other side
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
What do you say?

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes

Oh, they're laughing and no one will help us
Maybe we′re lying and you better not stay
But we would be safer just for one day

Oh, we could be heroes
Oh, we could be heroes
Oh, just for one day
