We Could Be Heroes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Another state won't change your face
It's a million in one shot, so give it your best shot
I'm playing along, come play with me
I can't say what you want to
Drama helps us get through
Will you give up?
Or should I start the countdown and shimmy 'til the ball drops?
And I'll be right here, and I'll be right here
This poison called fame, and the veins of the insane, says that we could be heroes
Family heirlooms, dead man's fortune
Forgive me for leaving
I'll be sure to send what I don't deserve back home
What a place, like heaven on paper
Dad was my hero
Dinner with the neighbors all fell apart
With love that I felt the fear, the hell,
I feel in...my heart is my home, my heart is my home
And I'll be right here, and I'll be right here
This poison called fame and the veins of the insane, says that we could be heroes
Without emotion, all we live for is undying trust,
and we lose it in each other as we lose another year
All we have is each other, all we have is each other
And we lose it in each other as we lose another year
