[Verse 1]
Shotgun wound to the head so high
Woah woah

Going hard

Crashing cars
Crashing cars

Yeah we're burning and we'll never fade away
Falling hard
Au revoir
Wild hearts
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Leave a good looking corpse behind
Woah woah

Leave flowers on the boulevard
[Chorus]
Going hard
Going hard
Wild hearts
Crashing cars
Crashing cars
Dead stars
Yeah we're burning and we'll never fade away
Falling hard
Au revoir
Wild hearts
[Bridge]
Joplin Heroine
Cocaine Cobain

Top shelf despair
Party hard don't care

Come and say my name eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
And I want the pain and I want the fame
Come and say my name eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
[Final Chorus]
Going hard (And I want the pain)
Going hard (And I want the fame)
Wild hearts (Come and say my name eh, eh-eh, eh-eh)
Crashing cars (And I want the pain)
Crashing cars (And I want the fame)
Dead stars (Come and say my name eh, eh-eh, eh-eh)
