Lyrics

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, now, now

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 (Oh whoa!) (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Give me, give me) (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)
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
