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've 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
(Artie: 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)
(Now) Touch, touch (Hoooh)
Touch, touch now (Oh woah! Oh woah)
Now, now, now, now (Oh woah)
Now, now, now, now (Oooh)
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 (The applause)
Applause, applause (yeah, yeah)
Give me that thing that I love
(Sam: I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch

Give me that thing that I love
