I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

And nothing, no nothing could tear us apart

We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes, just for one day

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.

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

Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever

Then we could be heroes, just for one day.

Then we could be heroes, just for one day.
