Wow Lyrics

[Intro]
Emily

[Verse 1]
We're all alone on the stage tonight
We've been told we're not afraid of you
We know all our lines so well, uh-huh
We've said them so many times
Time and time again
Line and line again

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, you're amazing
We think you're incredible
You say we're fantastic
But still we don't head the bill

[Chorus]
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable

[Verse 2]
When the actor reaches his death
You know it's not for real, he just holds his breath
But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself
He'll never make the screen, he'll never make the Sweeney
Or be that movie queen
He's too busy hitting the Vaseline
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, you're amazing
We think you are really cool
We'd give you a part, my love
But you'd have to play the fool

[Chorus]
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable

[Outro]
We're all alone on the stage tonight
We're all alone
On the stage
Tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Are there anymore videos for the song?
Genius Answer

Yes, just like “Wuthering Heights”, another official video exists. However, unlike the first, it doesn’t really correspond to the song and is more like a mashup of footage from The Tour of Life.
