"WOW" is the ninth track from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on April 7, 2009, in a blog which described both it and another songs from the album, "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon".[1]
Music details
A blog by Metal Hammer describes "WOW" as "a grinding, NIN-tinged sex anthem. Genuinely filthy and intensely sexy, The Wow sees Manson riding a dirty Twiggy Ramirez bassline in an almost spoken-word style. Quirky keyboards interject all the way through the track while sexual female groans (occasionally spoken in German) swarm behind the crunching industrial backing track. The WoW doesn't have anything in the way of memorable hooks but it is the sort of track that would sound amazing in a goth stripclub...if one existed."[1]
Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt cited that "for every killer track there's one like 'WOW', a gutful of sickly electro honky-tonk with Manson at his lyrically most self-absorbed."[2]

Lyrics
I had a dream,
this one I feel the need to mention:
I was happy for 'awhile' and I stopped being scared and ashamed to say what's on my mind.
but you thought that I'd change after 'awhile' and said,
"you better treat me different, or else!"
"or else" seems like a stupid,
fucking thing to say to someone like me
someone like me?
wow
wow
wow
w w w w w w w wow
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
i am worse
than what you think you'd catch from me
'complicated' is understated.
did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?
at who you fell in love with?
It doesn't matter how many times I say it,
it never gets old,
that's why I have to say WOW
wow wow wow
w w w w w w w WOW
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
It doesn't matter if you're going to come
or just going
I never wanted you to come
here anyway
there is a word that's like you,
because it can be a noun, a verb, an exclamation
or the thing that I say
when something is unbelievable
when I am not able to believe, how unbelievably, unbelievable
that you believe that you could not be leavable
that's when I have to say
WOW WOW, WOW
w w w w w w w WOW
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised I can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
It doesn't matter how many times I say it,
it never gets old,
that's why I have to say WOW...
