I stand here waiting for you to band 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 the 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 the 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
Wooooo Touch, touch Wooooo Touch, touch now Ooo-hoo Ohooo-hoo Ohooo-hoo-hoo
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
