I stand here waiting
For you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying,
"Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV
Baby, could I 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 that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (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
Then suddenly, the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now
Art’s in pop culture, in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)
(Now!) Touch, touch (Ooooh)
Touch, touch (Oh woah! Oh woah!)
Now, now, now, now, now, now (Oh woah!)
Now, now, now, now, now (Oooh!)
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause (The applause)
Applause, applause (Yeah! Yeah,)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Oh whoa!) (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Give me, give me, Yeah) (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch (Put it up, oh) (Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) (Ooh!)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) (Make it real loud!)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Make it real loud) (Oh whoa! Oh whoa!)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) (Oh whoa, ooh!)
A-R-T-P-O-P
