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 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

Woo touch touch

Woo touch touch

Now woo-oh-oh-oh

Woo-oh-oh-oh

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
