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