Applause
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 out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
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 out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
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)
Ooh (touch, touch)
Ooh (touch, touch now)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
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 out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
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)
