| 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 cheer and scream for me
|
| The applause, applause, applause.
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Applause! |
| Make it real loud
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch.
|
| Applause! |
| 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 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 cheer and scream for me
|
| The applause, applause, applause.
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Applause! |
| Make it real loud
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch.
|
| Applause! |
| Make it real loud
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch.
|
| Touch, touch!
|
| Touch, touch now!
|
| I live for the applause, applause, applause
|
| I live for the applause-plause,
|
| Live for the applause-plause
|
| Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
|
| The applause, applause, applause.
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
|
| Applause! |
| Make it real loud
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch.
|
| Applause! |
| Make it real loud
|
| Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch.
