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 bare,
being away from you
I found the vein put it 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
turn turn the lights
Put your hands up make'em touch
it real
Give me that thing that I love
turn turn the lights
Put your hands up make'em touch
it real
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
your hands up make'em
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
your hands up make'em
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 fan,
suddenly the Kunst is me.
Pop culture was in art now,
Art 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
turn turn the lights
put your hands up make'em touch
it real
Give me that thing that I love
turn turn the lights
Put your hands up make'em touch
it real
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
your hands up make'em
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
your hands up make'em
Wooh! Touch-touch! Wooh!
Touch-touch now! Wooh!
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
turn turn the lights
put your hands up make'em touch
it real
Give me that thing that I love
turn turn the lights
Put your hands up make'em touch
it real
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
your hands up make'em
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud!
your hands up make'em
A-R-T-P-O-P
