Heroes - David & David

fifteen long years 
on a losing streak 
and a lot of bodies unburied 
and there comes a time 
when you cannot turn the other cheek 
you have got to ride the ferry 
past the battered old bodies 
of dead dead dreamers 
past the tethered and fettered and 
deskbound schemers 
the punks and the drunks and the
bad guitar players and the dewy eyed 
teenage dragon slayers 
you come to this place 
where you can say I
just want to work with you 
as we do the things that we know 
we have to do 
ever hopeful and ever blue we 
do the things that we know we have to do 
and though we all know deep down in our hearts 
that someday this will all fall apart 
for right now let's just be heroes 

the telegraph man 
took a break today he 
pulled out all the wires 
he looked out the window at the 
rainy rainy day and he 
wondered about the future of fire 
as he leaned back in his chair 
with a long cold fishy eyed stare 
he looked like December until he 
remembered 
the day he'd said I 
just want to work with you 
as we do the tings that we 
know we have to do ever
hopeful and ever
blue we do the things the things that we know we 
have to do 
yeh we both know deep down in our hearts 
someday this will all fall apart 
for right now let's just be heroes
