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 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
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 an art, now art's a 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
Ooh-ooh
Touch, touch
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
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 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
