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, live for the aplause 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 (Make it real loud) Give me the thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
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 the doll, then suddenly the doll is me Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture in me
I live for your applause, applause, applause I live for the applause, live for the applause 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 (Make it real loud) Give me the thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up make 'em touch
