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 I.V.
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 me 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)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em 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 me 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
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em 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 you cheer me 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
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real now!)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-R-T-P-O-P
