I, I will be Queen
And you, you will be King
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day

And you, you can be new
And I, I'll drag you 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 can steal time just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
What do you say

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

I, I would be Queen
And you, you would be King
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be honest just for one day

I, I remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
The guns shot above our heads (above our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
(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

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes just for one day
Just for one day

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
