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
Touch, touch
Touch, touch now
Ooh ooh ooh hoo
Ooh ooh ooh hoo
Ooh ooh ooh hoo
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 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
