Applause

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critics saying:
'Is it right or is it wrong?'
If only fame had an IV, baby I could bear?
Being away from you
I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

I've overheard your theory
Nostalgia's for geeks
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a Koons fan
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was an art now
Art and pop culture is me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Woo...
Touch, touch
Woo...
Touch, touch, now...
Woo-oh-oh-oh...

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P
