[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I, I will be king
And you, you will be my queen
Nothing keep us together
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
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

[Refrain 1: Dave Gahan]
Though nothing keep us together
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
What d'you say?
"Hey!"

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
And I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, likе dolphins can swim

[Refrain 2: Dave Gahan]
And nothing, will drive them away
We can bеat them just for one day
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I, I will be king
And you will be queen
Nothing will keep us together
We can be heroes, just for one day
Oh, we can be us just for one day

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (By the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (Over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (Nothing could fall)

[Refrain 3: Dave Gahan]
And the shame was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them just for one day
Then we could be heroes just for one day

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes

[Refrain 4: Dave Gahan]
No, nothing, will keep us together
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
We can be heroes just for one day "Alright, Martin!"
[Coda: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) We can be heroes
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Just for one day
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Just for one day

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
"That one's for David."
